Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Gather all the ingredients needed for your Asian cucumber salad TikTok recipe.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix granulated white sugar, sesame seeds, crushed garlic, and chopped green onions. Gradually whisk in soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili oil, and sesame oil.
  3. Prepare your cucumbers for spiraling. Cut off both ends and place them between chopsticks for stability. Slice diagonally to create spiral shapes.
  4. Sprinkle the spiralized cucumbers generously with salt and let them sit for 8-10 minutes to draw out moisture.
  5. Rinse the cucumbers under cold water in a colander to remove excess salt. Shake to eliminate excess water.
  6. Combine the salted and rinsed cucumber spirals with the dressing in a large mixing bowl. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  7. Serve immediately or let it marinate for a few minutes before serving to enhance flavors.
