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.
  5. Place the cucumber spirals in a large bowl and sprinkle salt over them. Massage the salt into the spirals and let sit for 10 minutes.
  6. Rinse the cucumbers thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a clean towel.
  7. Pour the prepared dressing over the drained cucumber spirals and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately or chill briefly.
