Ingredients

1 pound organic cucumbers, (about 2 medium)

1 teaspoon kosher salt

3 cloves organic garlic, minced or pressed

2 organic green onions, white and green parts thinly sliced

1 tablespoon organic sesame oil

1 tablespoon grated organic ginger (from a 1-inch knob)

1 tablespoon organic rice vinegar

1 1⁄2 teaspoons Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Ground Paprika

1 1⁄2 teaspoons Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Red Chili Flakes (adjust to preferred spiciness level)

1 teaspoon Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Coconut Sugar

1⁄2 teaspoon fish sauce

Directions

Slice the cucumbers into quarters lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds and cut into 1-inch pieces; place in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with the salt and toss to evenly coat. Move to a colander and let sit for 30 minutes.
While the cucumbers are resting, combine the remaining ingredients in a small bowl and stir to completely combine.
Rinse the cucumbers and allow to drain for at least 10 minutes.
Toss the cucumbers with the sauce and pack into a sanitized glass jar. Let sit in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours before serving.
