Preparation Steps
  1. Wash cucumbers and cut off the ends.
  2. Place one cucumber between two chopsticks and make thin diagonal slices on the top. Flip the cucumber over and do the same on the other side. Cut cucumber into halves. Repeat for remaining cucumbers and transfer to a large bowl. Alternatively, thinly slice your cucumbers.
  3. Sprinkle salt over cucumbers and gently massage into them. Let cucumbers soak in salt for 5 minutes. Rinse with cold water at least 3-4 times to completely remove the salt. Strain and set aside.
