Simple Sweet and Sour Cucumber

Cucumber slices (it is recommended to use a slicer). After slicing, squeeze out the water; if there is too much water, it won’t taste good. Squeeze as much as you can; if you can’t get it out or are too lazy to squeeze, it’s fine. Add minced garlic (forgot to take a photo of the minced garlic).

Add chili oil to the cucumber slices (Note: To make chili oil, put an appropriate amount of chili flakes in a small container. Glass is best, but ceramic that can withstand heat is also fine. Put oil in a pan and heat until smoking, just until it starts to smoke, I don’t know exactly how hot ㅠㅠㅠ. Prepare a spoon, hold the container with one hand, and slowly pour the hot oil over the chili flakes. Also stir with the spoon to mix the oil and chili flakes to prevent the chili flakes from burning).

Add salt.

Add vinegar.

Add sugar and stir evenly (the amount of sugar, vinegar, and salt can be adjusted according to personal taste).

The boxed chili oil was put in too little, so the color is very light. Next time, I need to put a bit more chili oil. This dish can be eaten immediately, or it can be stored in the refrigerator for a while to taste even better. If left overnight, the flavor will be more infused.
