Instructions
Lay the cucumbers on a board and whack them firmly along their length with the flat of a big knife or a rolling pin until they split. Cut into bite-size chunks.
Toss the cucumbers with the salt and sugar in a colander and let them drain for 10 minutes.
Mix the garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil and pepper flakes in a bowl.
Shake off the cucumber liquid, toss the cucumbers in the dressing and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve soon, while still crunchy.
Notes
- Smashing makes rough edges that soak up more dressing than neat slices.
