Instructions

Thinly slice the cucumber, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.
Toss the slices gently with 1 teaspoon salt and set aside for about 15 minutes.
Drain off the excess liquid without squeezing, as the cucumber will bruise.
Mix with the remaining ingredients: 1 tablespoon gochugaru (less if you prefer), 1 tablespoon chopped scallion, 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic, 1 teaspoon vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon sesame seeds and 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
