This easy Cucumber Kimchi (aka Oi Kimchi) is a delicious Korean side dish that's crunchy, spicy, and refreshing!
Slice Persian cucumbers to your desired shape and thickness. For this recipe, I like to cut it into 1/2 inch thick medallions. Add cucumbers to a bowl and add salt to draw out the water. Mix it and set aside for at least 15 minutes. In the meantime, prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Once the time is up, drain the water from the bowl and give the cucumbers a good rinse to get rid of any excess salt. This is optional but I like to give the cucumbers a good squeeze to remove any excess water. Pat the cucumbers dry with a paper or kitchen towel then transfer to a new dry bowl.
Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Adjust to taste and serve! Enjoy!
