Spicy Cucumbers

Awesome! After reading the other reviews I decided to salt and then drain the cucumbers before adding the marinade. They turned out perfectly and our Korean homestay student practically inhaled them! I will definitely be making these again (and often)! Edited to add: I have found that using Kochujang Sauce gives a great taste. Since starting to host Korean students, I usually have Kochujang Sauce in my fridge, so using it cuts down a little in the preparation of this delicious pickle/relish (whatever you'd like to call it).

In Korea, this is called OY Kimchi. I spent 4 years in Korea and this was my favorite next to cabbage kimchi. This is very authentic tasting and easy to make! No more going to the Asian market for my fix of OY Kimchi! For a variation, Koreans add finely sliced onions or chopped green onions to it. YUMMMMMMY!!!

I kind of peeled these and left stripes of peel around the cukes. This was so easy to make and I made it with three other of your recipes, Jelisa. :) What I really enjoyed about this dish was that with the other dishes, this (even though spicy) was a nice 'cool to the palate' contrast to the other dishes. The rest of the meal was Spicy Pepper Steak #33347, Sesame Spinach #30471, Spicy Korean Chicken #29615, and rice. Tastebud heaven! :)

Wow! These were great! Could barely stay out of them long enough to let them marinate. Didn't think I have enough marinade but once you toss it's plenty.

I used 6 Kirby cucumbers because they're crunchier. I also did not have kochujang so used a Chinese hot sauce instead. It turned out pretty good! Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Great side dish, spicy and crisp. I served it with Korean Salad, Korean Roast Chicken Thighs and appetizer Korean Green Onion & Shrimp Pancakes With Vinegar Dipping Sa. Great meal.

This was exceptional!!! Thanks for sharing! This was authentic and delicious. I served this along with a bunch of other ban chan (Korean side dishes) at dinner and this was a big hit! Crisp & cool! I could eat this by itself it was so good! Thanks, Jelisa!

I loved this unusual flavour. Next time I'll salt the cucumbers, let them stand awhile and drain before adding the marinade, since I made double to have leftovers and it got a bit watery.

This is excellent. We followed the recipe exactly and didn't find it overly spicy or garlicky. It was a nice addition to some grilled meats and rice. A great light addition! At the end of the meal, the bowl was empty and I didn't have but a little taste. We'll be making this often! Thanks for posting this!

These are spicy, crisp, cool, and wonderful, all at once. I found it perfect with only 1/2 teaspoon of the sesame oil, but used all of the red pepper flakes! Definately going into heavy summer rotation for my 'dim sum' nights. Thanks!

Another winner - authentic Korean and really good when freshly made, according to DH, he ate these instead of the cucumber kimchee he got at the Asian market.
