Steps to make Cucumber Kimchi:
- Cut off both ends of the cucumber. Divide the cucumber into 4 pieces, then cross-cut each piece. Remove the centre (the seeds) of the cucumber if it is watery and slimy. Then cut the cucumbers into sticks. You should end up with 5-6cm long cucumber sticks.
- Put the cucumber into a large bowl then scatter the salt around on top. Gently mix them so that the salt spreads evenly.
- Put the cucumbers in a strainer to drain excess water. Set it aside for 20 minutes.
- Julienne the carrots. If you have a vegetable slicer, it would be fast and easy.
- Mince the garlic as small as possible.
- Grate the ginger.
- Put the carrots, garlic and the ginger into a food bag.
- Then, put the sugar, fish sauce, honey and the chilli powder into the same food bag.
- Check that the cucumbers are slightly salted (but not too much). If it is too salty, give the cucumbers a quick rinse. If you can’t taste the salt at all, add a bit more salt.
- Put the cucumbers into the same food bag and mix well.
- Leave for 20 minutes or more at room temperature, and then the Oi Kimchi’s ready to eat!
