Instructions

1. Place chopsticks on either side of a cucumber and cut horizontal lines down the entire cucumber. The chopsticks will prevent you from cutting all the way through.
2. Flip the cucumber over (so the cuts are facing down). With chopsticks on either side, cut diagonal lines all the way down the cucumber. Gently stretch the cucumber to reveal the accordion pattern.
3. In a bowl, mix together the grated or minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha (if using), and sugar. Pour this mixture over the prepared cucumbers.
4. Garnish with sesame seeds and enjoy immediately.
