I was looking for something to go with a steak dish I was trying, called Japanese Steak Rice Bowl. (Japanese Style Steak Rice Bowl https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/4643016-japanese-style-steak-rice-bowl ) This Korean cucumber salad looked like it might fit the bill. It was perfect, really added a nice offset to the slightly sweet sauce on the steak. Now to be fair, I'm not a huge fan of cucumbers, it's a take or leave it kind of thing. But I tell you what, this thinly sliced English cucumber, in this light pickle was perfection. I used a medium hot red pepper powder, and it was not spicy. The flavors were fresh and just happen to be perfect with the steak. Without the lime juice, it had a very slight acidic taste, if you want it a tad more, use the lime/lemon juice also.

My mother used to make a similar recipe when I was younger. I was never able to get the recipe from her so this is the best recreation of it.

My mother always had these in the fridge. They've become sort of a comfort food for me :)

It was fun spending some time with Eriko this morning. She was hungry, so I thought it'd be a good idea to make a comforting breakfast to show her my appreciation for letting me stay in the house. The weather was springlike; the kitchen was filled with light, and from where I cooked I could see the beautiful sunlight. Porridge and some refreshing salad always made a perfect combo for a day like this. Eriko devoured it with enthusiasm!

It only takes 10 mins to add one more flavorful dish on the table 😉

This is an easy, fresh, and super tasty side dish, which I call #relaxcooking

When I was little my mom and I would go to a Korean market where they made cucumber salad. This is my version of it. Still haven't been able to get that childhood taste but it is still great!

I wanted to make a light and refreshing salad!Use plenty of shiso leaves. For 2 servings. Recipe by Teroron

I grow up on this salad in portugal. It's lovely and light. It compliments barbecued meat really well

This has become a go-to for weekly meal prepping. It's such a simple, but tasty recipe and adds a lot of freshness to a meal. I usually pair it with some quinoa or brown rice, some chicken or drained and rinsed chickpeas and some feta cheese. If you'd like to take some of the 'bite' out of the raw onion, soak it in some cold water for a few minutes first.
