Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Using a spiralizer, transform the 4 medium cucumbers into beautiful spiral shapes. Place the spiralized cucumbers in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle them with 1 teaspoon of salt. Allow them to sit for about 10 minutes, which will help to draw out excess moisture.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of chili flakes, and 1 teaspoon of minced garlic. Whisk the mixture well until all ingredients are blended.
  3. After allowing the cucumbers to sit for 10 minutes, gently squeeze them to remove the excess liquid. Transfer the spiralized cucumbers to a serving bowl.
  4. Pour the prepared dressing over the drained cucumbers in the serving bowl. Toss everything together gently but thoroughly.
  5. Top your salad with fresh cilantro and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for a delightful crunch and visual appeal.
