Instructions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine all sauce ingredients (soy sauce, sesame oil, chicken bouillon, miso paste, chili oil, sugar, and chili bean sauce). Mix until smooth with no miso lumps.

Step 2

Wash and dry cucumbers, cutting off the ends. Use a rolling pin to crack them without mashing.

Step 3

Tear cucumbers into bite-sized pieces by hand (this creates a rough surface that holds sauce better than knife-cut pieces).

Step 4

Add cucumber pieces to the sauce and mix until evenly coated.

Step 5

Serve topped with toasted white sesame seeds and chili threads, or refrigerate for later.
