Easy Korean cucumber salad made in under 10 minutes by tossing together a few simple ingredients! A great appetizer and side dish!

This is one of my favorite banchan dishes whenever I eat Korean food! This spicy cucumber salad is typically served as a side dish or appetizer.

“Banchan” is the name for small side dishes served with cooked rice. This recipe takes literally 10 minutes to make and goes so well with rice and Asian flavored meats, especially teriyaki or bulgogi flavors.
