Cucumber has a lot of moisture, so adding boiled egg helps to release water. It leaves the flavor of egg, at the same time, giving body to the taste and a plain flavor.

Pen Pen (my 4-year-old) says that cucumbers are too tough to chew... hard to relate for us adults. So, I attempted to recreate a pounded cucumber recipe that I tried once at a Japanese pub! For kids, I omit the garlic and ginger. I had Pen Pen pound the cucumber with a rolling pin. The cucumbers had a different texture that was apparently refreshing.When serving to adults, I recommend 1/2 a clove grated garlic and a touch of grated ginger...Increasing the salt content may help to prevent heat exhaustion.

I created my own recipe for namul while cutting cucumbers and tomatoes. The usual namul ingredients like spinach and bean sprouts are blanched, but I didn't cook the cucumber and tomato since I wanted to enjoy them raw. Recipe by Pukuttopukumaru

I bought some really fresh cucumbers, so I thought up this recipe.This is good with ground sesame seeds, but by using toasted whole sesame seeds, you can enjoy the fresh taste of the cucumber. The fragrant nuttiness of the sesame seeds fills your mouth as you chew the rough bits of cucumber. Fellow COOKPAD user "youichie" reminded me that this tastes better if you let it rest for a while to let the flavors meld. Also, user "riebel's" comment made me think of this: the sesame vinegar gets watered down by the moisture in the cucumber to the point where you can drink it up, but if you're in a situation where that would be rather impolite, reserve the sesame seeds and scatter on the cucumber just before serving to prevent it from going to waste.

Try adding a little sesame oil to enjoy a different taste.Alternatively, julienning or roughly cubing the cucumbers and eating them with cold tofu or noodles is also delicious. Recipe by unihotate
