Description

Korean-style cucumbers are a very tasty, spicy dish or appetizer that doesn't require much effort. The only downside is that Korean-style cucumbers need an hour or two to be fully ready to eat. By the way, I want to warn you right away: when you make the oil with sesame seeds, be sure to watch afterward so the sesame doesn't burn. Good luck, and serve the appetizer at the table.
