I have built up a repertoire of cucumber recipes. Now I have several ways to enjoy refreshing cucumber, but I tend to make my cucumber zesty. While the sour, pickled flavor of cucumber is good, I’d like to expand how to season them. So today’s recipe is of course cucumber, but something different; it’s hot!
Are you ready to check how to cook hot(not meaning for its temperature!) salad? Here we go!

Cucumber is very under-rated and certainly under-utilized in American cooking…this is a terrific recipe!

And that seems to be the only way anyone utilizes them – I marinate them for our Bibimbop bowls, use on Tuna sandwiches as well!

Ah that makes your bibimbop and tuna sandwich a level up! And you know what John, you made me crave for korean food, my neighbor don’t have a korean restaurant so making on my own is the only way😂

I was lucky enough to go to Seoul for work a few years ago and stayed 6 days – it was the greatest culinary experience! Well, I have also been to Tokyo five times and that is magic.

OMG you went to Seoul!? I’m super jealous😂 Korea is so close to my home country but I’ve never been to there just yet…and yay to Tokyo! I hope you enjoyed high quality sushi in reasonable price and the convenience stores that never allow you to stop craving for another light bites!😂👍✨
