Instructions

Wash and dry the cucumbers. Cut off the ends and slice them into spirals using chopsticks to guide your cuts for beautiful presentation. Alternatively, use a mandolin for simpler slices.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, and red chili flakes. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and gently toss to coat. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately or chill for enhanced flavors.
