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.
