Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Gather all the ingredients for the Asian Cucumber Salad TikTok recipe.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, sesame seeds, crushed garlic, and chopped green onions. Stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar, Chinese chili oil, and sesame oil.
  3. Trim both ends of the cucumbers and position them between two chopsticks. Make diagonal cuts along the cucumber’s length.
  4. Continue slicing diagonally until you reach the end, creating spiral-cut cucumber springs.

  7. Pour the prepared dressing over the drained cucumber spirals and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately or chill briefly.
