Spicy Cucumber Banchan instructions
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cucumbers with the salt and let them sit for 20 to 25 minutes while they extrude excess liquid, re-tossing once halfway just to make sure the salt does its job on all the pieces. This process helps the cucumbers retain a pickled crunch..
Squeeze the cucumber in fistfuls to get rid of the excess liquid (discard the liquid)..
Toss the cucumbers with the rest of the ingredients..
