3 pounds Mini Cucumbers, sliced into paper thin disks (or use crunchy Hot House or Persian Cucumbers)
-
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
-
1/2 tablespoon red pepper powder
-
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
-
2 tablespoons white sugar
-
1 tablespoon organic lemon freshly-squeezed juice

1 stem organic green onions, green part only and thinly slices
-
2 tablespoon dark sesame oil
-
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

1 clove organic garlic, smashed and minced

Place cucumbers in a large bowl and sprinkle with salt.
Let sit for 30 minutes, then wrap in paper towels and squeeze out liquid. Set aside.

The flavor will get better with aging-best prepared the day before.
