Korean cucumber and sesame seed salad
When I lived in Korea, I was shown this salad that is made with cucumbers, spring onions, carrots and sesame seeds. It's delicious with Bulgogi (Korean barbecued beef) that's also on this site!
Ingredients
Serves: 2
- 4 tablespoons vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried chilli flakes
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1/2 spring onion, sliced
- 1/2 carrot, sliced into matchsticks

This is excellent. The second time I made it I used sesame oil instead of vegetable, Rice vinegar and added some Gari (pickled ginger) Brought it to work and everyone raved! - 21 Nov 2008 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This was a nice, refreshing and easy "banchan" (korean sidedish). I often make it without the carrots, but increase the green onion. I like it with a little bit of sugar added, but it's nice as is. - 29 Nov 2005 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This was really yummy. We made it a whole meal by pairing it with two other recipes from this site, Korean BBQ Beef and Korean squash as well as some jasmine rice. I added about 1tsp of sugar and next time I won't use quite as much red pepper flakes...Rachel - 06 Aug 2005 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
