Spicy cucumber side dish Oi-muchim 오이무침

Selam everybody....Merhaba from Turkey...

If somebody ask me, which one do I prefer, Korean Drama or Korean food? spontaneously my answer would be korean food...

yeeaahh...I know...sorry for Korean drama's lover over there... And don't ask me further question: WHY?  my answer will break your heart ^,^

I like Korean food in moderate way, I like it cause some (some-not all) Korean food are acceptable by my asian tongue. Kimchi is my favorite one. I make kimchi once or twice in a year when I saw napa cabbage at local farmer market--even some friends of mine ordered Kimchi from me, they like my homemade Kimchi ^,^. Thank you girls!

And my today's post is another simple, healthy yet scrumptious side dish. You can make it maybe in 5 minutes only with all ingredients ready in your pantry ^,^

It call Oi-muchim or spicy cucumber.

So no more chit-chat from me here you go oi-muchim recipe.

Oi-muchim 오이무침 

Recipe by Maangchi ,recook by me

Ingredients (Serves 4) 

• 1 English cucumber (or 2 to 3 kirby cucumbers), washed 
• ¼ cup thinly sliced onion 
• 1 green onion, chopped 
• 2 garlic cloves, minced 
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (I use dark soy sauce-next time I use light one)
• 2 teaspoons hot pepper flakes 
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil 
• 2 teaspoons sesame seeds 
• 1 teaspoon sugar, it said optional but I used it, it'll kick the oi-muchim!

Halved cucumber lengthwise then thinly slice. Place those sliced cucumber into a medium bowl, add all spices ingredients, toss them to combine. Serve immediately as side dish.

Just like that! simple isn't it? Have a try, you gonna love it ^,^
