Spicy, sour, sweet and savory are three descriptions of flavors that must be present in every salad dish in my opinion. Moreover, processed from fresh ingredients, of course it will be very delicious if all these flavors are served in one bowl. Well today because of the hot weather I did take the initiative to make a salad from cucumbers. The simple salad will certainly be very easy for you to prepare at home.
Cucumber Korean Salad
Cucumber salad is a salad that is processed in a thin shape and then served with a mixture of sesame oil, sesame seeds and also chili powder as an ingredient to create a spicy taste. Not only chili powder, I also add chili paste to make the salad more vibrant. Now the sour and fresh taste of my salad is created from fresh lemon juice. Curious about the recipe, let's see below. This recipe is for one serving of salad, if you want more portions, you can add the ingredients.
Ingredients Used
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon chili paste
To taste salt
To taste sugar (optional)
Making Procedure
Grate the cucumber with a thin grater, manually.
Make sure it is as thin as possible I did it with chips to get maximum results.
Combine chili powder and sesame oil, stir everything until well mixed.
Then add the minced garlic and lemon juice and stir until evenly distributed and mix.
Finally add the toasted sesame seeds,salt and also the chili paste and sugar then mix everything again making sure everything is well coated.
Result
Tara!!! Serve the sesame cucumber salad in a serving bowl, later you will see the salad oozing water, yeah as usual because cucumber contains a lot of water so when after sitting for a while it will ooze water.
Sweet, spicy, sour and savory are the three flavors in this salad picture, I am so happy that the sesame seeds also give a delicious savory taste in this salad. I used to call it the home version of Korean salad. Although the taste is not similar, the appearance is a bit similar and that makes me enjoy this salad happily.
