- 3 Lebanese cucumbers ((450 g / 1 pound), other cucumber suitable for pickling is ok to use, rinsed)
- 50 g carrots ((1.7 ounces), julienned (optional))
- 1/2 tsp Korean fish sauce
- 1 Tbsp honey (or sugar)

Open in Supper to scale servings and turn this into a grocery list.
Steps
- Step 1
Cut off both ends of the cucumber. Divide the cucumber into 3 pieces then cross cut each piece length ways. You should end up with 4 to 5 cm (1.5 inch) length cucumber pieces. Put the cucumber into a large bowl then scatter the coarse sea salt around on top. Gently mix them so that the cucumber gets pickled evenly. Set it aside for 20 minutes.
- Step 2
Gently brush off the salt from the cucumber then transfer the cucumber into a clean bowl. Pour in the kimchi sauce then mix them gently. (If using) Add the carrots and garlic chives then mix with the rest again. Transfer into a glass container and cover.
- Step 3
Keep it at room temperature for about 12 to 18 hours then move it to the fridge. Serve once chilled.
Interactive, hands-free timers are available in the Supper app.
