That Sauce! Chinese-style Salt Cured Cucumbers

I wanted to make an easy-prep, salt-cured cucumber that even children would like. When I used the recipe with the seasoning from shirasu sauce, it turned out delicious. It's now one of my daughter's favorites. For those who like spice, add red chili peppers when curing.
Thoroughly dissolve the sugar. Curing for 2 hours gives a perfect crunchiness and the cucumbers become well cured. If longer, the seasoning will blend in, but the crunchiness will disappear.
If you peel the cucumbers a little, they will cure more evenly. Recipe by Tsukonindesumasu

If you slice the cucumbers thinly in round slices and cure them, it will only take 1 hour, and your little ones will find them easier to eat this way.
