  2 oh ee ji (salted cucumber)

  1 green onion

  1.5 teaspoons go choo ga roo (Korean chili powder)

  2 tablespoons sesame oil

  1 tablespoon sugar

  1 teaspoon minced garlic

Wash cucumber, slice thinly, soak in a water for 10-15. Drain, squeeze well.
Mix with all ingredients. Serve with rice.

 *Oh ee ji is appetizing for the hot summer.
   You can find this salty cucumber in a Korean store or it can be made at home.
   Bring to a boil salted water ( water : salt = 5 : 1), pour over washed cucumber.
   (The key is to add hot water so the cucumber gets crunch.)
   Store in a air tight container with the cucumber totally submerged.
   After 3-4 days, pour the water out, boil, let cool completely, back to cucumber.
   Use in about a week.
