Preparation

• 1.

  Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice them into thin rounds or half-moons.

• 2.

  In a mixing bowl, combine sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili oil, sugar, and minced garlic. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well combined.

• 3.

  Add the cucumber slices to the bowl and gently toss to coat them evenly in the dressing.

• 4.

  Allow the cucumbers to marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors, stirring occasionally.

  Before serving, sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top.

  Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve chilled.
