Nostalgic Pickled Cucumbers

• 3 Cucumbers
• 1 Salt
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 dash Ra-yu
• 2 tsp Sesame oil

1. Slice the cucumbers about 2 cm thick.
2. Sprinkle evenly with salt to draw out the moisture, and put into a plastic container or ziplock bag.
3. Drain off the moisture after 30 minutes.
4. Mix with soy sauce, ra-yu and sesame oil.
5. (Adjust the amounts to taste!)
6. It will be mildly spicy at this point, so if you want it spicier add the dried chili pepper, de-seeded and ripped up.
7. (If you add the seeds it will become spicy!)
8. Cover the cucumber with plastic wrap and put a weight on top.
9. If you use a plate, you can put other items in the refrigerator on top of it to act as additional weights.
10. Leave to rest in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
