All thanks to Ms. Maangchi :) This is not my recipe. also known as “oi-muchim”.

Good

This was so refreshing and delicious! Cutting it in spirals takes some time but the result is worth it! I would definitely make a double portion next time :)

A side dish I grew up with almost with every meal. A spicy Asian side kick to go with your rice dish. Enjoy!

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.

I wanted to eat pickled cucumbers that were not Japanese-style, so I made them spicy by adding ra-yu spicy chili sesame oil.This is simple, so I don't have tips. But if you lett the flavours blend for a long time, go easy on the chili oil and the soy sauce etc... Mix the cucumbers and pickling sauce while pickling in the Tupperware about halfway through.

I had this in a restaurant and it was so tasty, I recreated it in my own style!!Adjust the amount of garlic and red chili if you don't like them. Recipe by Swan7724

If you’re craving something quick, spicy, and full of flavor, this Korean spicy radish dish is perfect for you! It’s super easy to make in just 15 minutes with simple ingredients like dried radish, garlic, chili oil, and soy sauce. The result is a deliciously savory and spicy dish that pairs great with rice or steamed buns. It’s a fantastic side dish or snack whenever you’re in the mood for something bold and flavorful. Enjoy!

When I tried putting the leek-miso I made for samgyeopsal on cucumbers it was delicious, so I adapted it to make it into a proper recipe.If you don't like spicy food, adjust the spiciness by varying the amount of gochujang and miso used.You can use plain salt instead of shio-koji (salt-fermented rice malt). Recipe by Ibechou

"Muru" (물) means water. "Nen-myon" (냉면) means cold noodles. "Bibimu" (비빔밥) means mixing."Muru-nen-myon" (물냉면) means cold noodles with soup."Bibi-mu-nen-myon" (비빔 냉면)) means cold noodles dressed with paste such as gochujang without soup.This is "bibi-nu" (비빔밥) of cellophane noodles, cucumber and chicken breast.If you can't find thick cellophane noodles, it's fine to use the thin variety.It looks red, but it is not as spicy red as you think. Gochujang is very spicy, though.Check the spiciness of your Korean chili at first before use. Recipe by pegupepepe

One salad that I ate at a restaurant had peeled cucumbers in it and it was very delicious, so I tried to copy it. I made Korean-style dressing and mixed it with the salad.The key is to peel the skin off the cucumbers. Recipe by Funakoko

For Korean housewives, with "Korean side dishes", every meal can be easily prepared. I really like this "cucumber kimchi". It tastes slightly spicy and sour, and it is very appetizing.😋🎬👇and 그리고 YouTube Recipe Video:《Cucumber 오이무침》https://youtu.be/WWoOHRLBWyM

A perfect recipe when you need to use a bunch of cucumbers.Since the marinade does not completely submerge the cucumbers, mix occasionally for the marinade to season the cucumbers.It may seem watery when the cucumbers releases their water content, but this prevents the marinade from completely overwhelming the flavor. For 2 to 3 servings. Recipe by Nacchi sencho

Quick summer salad to fix when cucumbers are in season!

The recipes include lots of potassium-rich vegetables, which the body needs during the summer. One was this standard tuna and cucumber combination with a different seasoning mix. It is quick to make and even the kids enjoy it.1 serving: 110 cal, sodium: 1.0g.Chop the cucumbers into large chunks. If you chop them into small pieces, there will be a lot of surface space and you will need more seasoning ingredients to get a a good flavor. Lightly flavor the cucumbers with soy sauce and set aside, then flavor with the curry powder and vinegar. This will allow for a strong flavor with a little salt. Recipe by Mizkan

【 youtu.be/3-D2GneKPUs 】Korean cucumber kimchi is an amazing side dish that is easy and fast to make. Cucumber will cool you down to the heart, and you will be addicted to the taste after one bite!

Generally speaking, cucumber kimchi does not hold up texturally as well as Napa cabbage kimchi, and you'll find that it begins to go soggy more quickly. Best to make a smaller batch (you can halve this recipe) if you don't think you can eat it within 2 to 3 weeks because there just aren't as many good uses for overripe cucumber kimchi as with the Napa cabbage kind.A common question:HOW RIPE DOES THE KIMCHI HAVE TO BE BEFORE I REFRIGERATE/EAT IT?You can eat the kimchi whenever you want. Fresh, just after it's been made, all the way up to when it's so incredibly old, ripe and stinky you could choke out a subway system by placing an open jar in one of the vents. It remains safe for human consumption for A VERY LONG TIME.But as to when to refrigerate, just go out once a day every day to taste a piece, and when it gets to the ripeness you like, stick it in the fridge. It'll continue to ripen, but slowly.P.S. Yes, you do see a few pieces of turnip in there. I think I had one or two that needed to be used up on the day I made this batch. ;)

Banchan (aka panchan and pronounced BAHNchahn) is a generic Korean word for "side dish," and Korean cuisine has LOTS of it - a dizzying array made from all kinds of ingredients and with all kinds of techniques. A proper Korean meal usually features at least 4 or 5 different kinds, but for efficiency's sake, I like to choose one or two that I think really complement the main dish I'm serving.This Spicy Cucumber Banchan has converted many a cuke hater because it hits so many notes - spicy, salty, sweet, tangy and crunchy.This recipe serves 4 to 6 as a side and is easily doubled.

Easy summer side dish.

I was thinking that there should be something I could do with both sesame oil and garlic...Then I decided I wanted to try to make a yakiniku restaurant-style cucumber appetizer! That's how I came up with this dish.Don't use too much salt. The sugar is used to balance out the flavor so only a small amount should be fine. Don't cut the cucumber too thinly. The cucumbers taste better when they're cut into relatively large sizes. Recipe by Makitoin

My friend taught me how to make this dish.Make sure you pour the sauce over the cucumbers while still it's hot. Recipe by taerin

Yum! can't wait to taste it :hungry

This is one of those dishes, I fell in love with when I was in South Korea. Probably the only one I like better is basically the same dish, just made with pork belly 😊. This isn't hard to make, and you can adjust your heat level to your liking. This one is a little spicy. Don't have gochujang, sub 2 tsp. Chili powder (mild), 1/2 tsp Cayenne powder (hot), 1/2 tsp sugar for each tablespoon. It is not the same flavor, but gets you closer. Don't have sesame oil, just use vegetable oil.The jalapeno is not standard in actual Korean recipes, but I think it adds a nice touch to this dish.

By peeling the cucumbers, this becomes really colorful, but I didn't want to waste the peel so I added it to the marinade and it was delicious.Chill well and serve. Recipe by kebeibiko

In Korea, this dish called "ojingeo bokkum", is not, in the true sense of the word, a "kimchi" dish. I had it served to me as a child, and I never forgot the taste. As an adult, when I realized it was ojingeo bokkum, I was thrilled! Ever since, I've been enjoy it homemade.It's delicious even without the gochujang. It stores well in the refrigerator for about a week; after that, the water and oil start to separate. When your appetite is weak, it may taste salty, so adjust the taste to your liking.

My friend taught me how to make this.It's easy to make. All you have to do is mix. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

I was wowed by this dish at a Japanese Izakaya pub years ago and when I recreated it the next day, it got rave reviews, so it's been a standard recipe in our family ever since. It's very easy to make.If you don't have a rolling pin, use a sturdy cup or bottle, but be careful not to break it!This recipe is so simple that there is no real trick; Pound the cucumbers into large chunks to enjoy the crunchy texture. This can be served right away, but is actually best chilled for 30 minutes to bring the flavors together and to round out the saltiness. Adjust the amount of salt and garlic to taste.

Today, I’m sharing a super refreshing and easy-to-make recipe for Asian-style cucumber salad. It’s crunchy, sweet, sour, and just the right amount of spicy—perfect for a quick snack or side dish.

I always make cho gochujang, a versatile Korean flavoring mix, in bulk to use with bibim myun (spicy cold noodles). I rubbed salt into vegetables that I had in the refrigerator and combined it with the cho gochugang to make a Korean style instant pickle type dish.It's an "instant" or quick pickle, so you can eat it as soon as it's mixed, but if you let it rest for a while the flavors will permeate the vegetables and it will become even more delicious. As time passes, moisture will come out of the vegetables and the flavors will become milder. If you are going to eat this right after making it though, 2 tablespoons of cho gochujang is very spicy!! So please adjust accordingly. Recipe by kebeibiko

This is a slightly changed version of pan-fried chicken & cabbage.The amount of the ingredients is not that exact. Everything is roughly the same amount. If you can make the sauce a nice consistency it will be fine.Using a lid throughout the cooking means you don't need to use any oil. You can cook the chicken with its own fat.You will have tender chicken if you use a whole piece and slice after cooking. Recipe by Purple tantan
