Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large Cucumbers (English or Persian)
  • 1/4 cup Rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 cup Chopped scallions (or shallots as a substitute)
  • 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
