Method
- Wash and dry the cucumbers, then cut off the ends. Place one cucumber between two chopsticks and make thin diagonal cuts at a 45° angle on the top without cutting all the way through, using the chopsticks as a guide. Flip the cucumber and make cuts at a 90° angle. Cut the spiraled cucumbers in half and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Alternatively, you can thinly slice the cucumbers using a mandoline.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, and red chili flakes until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning to preference.
- Pour the dressing over the prepared cucumbers and gently mix to coat without breaking the cucumbers. Garnish with finely sliced green onion and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes
For a creamier salad, consider adding diced avocado or fresh herbs like cilantro. Enjoying this salad cold is best to preserve its flavors.
