Ingredients

  • 2 medium sized cucumbers peeled and seeded
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoon dark soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon each of light and dark sesame seeds toasted
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flake optional

Instructions

  • Peel the cucumber and cut the ends off. Slice cucumber in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Using the julienne blade on a mandoline, run the cucumbers lengthwise to form noodles. If you find it difficult to work with the whole cucumber, cut the length in half to make it easier to handle.
  • In a dry skillet toast the sesame seeds until lightly golden. Allow to cool.
  • In a small bowl whisk together soy sauce and sesame oil.
  • Place cucumber noodles in a serving bowl and toss with soy sauce, sesame oil, and a teaspoon of the mixed toasted seeds.
  • Top with remaining toasted sesame seeds. Sprinkle with red pepper flake if desired.
  • Serve cold.
