Step-by-Step Instructions
- Rinse the Persian cucumbers under cool water and slice at an angle into thin, oval-shaped slices, roughly 1/8 inch thick.
- Sprinkle sliced cucumbers with salt and toss until well coated. Let sit for about 20 minutes.
- Drain excess liquid from the cucumbers and rinse under cold running water. Drain in a colander.
- In a small bowl, combine sesame oil, light soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, chili oil, and minced garlic. Whisk until smooth.
- Transfer drained cucumbers to a mixing bowl and pour dressing over them. Toss to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top and serve immediately for the best texture.

Notes
For optimal texture, serve the salad right after mixing; cucumbers lose their crunch when soaked in the dressing too long.
