1 teaspoon Korean rice syrup
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1-3 tablespoons fried garlic chili oil (adjust to your spicy tolerance)
1/2 teaspoon sriracha
Instructions:
Prepare the cucumber: Slice the cucumber thinly.
Combine the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, Kewpie mayonnaise, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, Korean rice syrup, fried garlic chili oil, and sriracha.
Toss: In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumber with the dressing. Toss to coat evenly.
Add scallions: Sprinkle the scallions over the salad.
Serve: Serve immediately or chill for later.
My Thoughts
This spicy cucumber salad is a perfect summer dish. The cool, crisp cucumber is complemented by the tangy and savory dressing. The addition of fried garlic chili oil and sriracha adds a satisfying heat that balances out the sweetness. It's a simple recipe that can be easily customized to your taste preferences. Also, you can put all the ingredients in one Tupperware and shake it, or dance, like I did in my Instagram reel.
Tips
Adjust the spice level: If you prefer a milder salad, reduce the amount of fried garlic chili oil and sriracha.
Use fresh ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh cucumbers and scallions.
Serve chilled: For a refreshing treat, chill the salad before serving.
