For a vegetarian option, substitute the fish sauce with a tablespoon of soy sauce or tamari. Adjust the amount of Korean chile powder to your desired level of spiciness. If you don't have hot chile oil, you can use sesame oil and add a pinch of red pepper flakes. Make sure to use fresh, firm cucumbers for the best texture.

Feb 7, 2025This recipe is fantastic! The cucumbers were perfectly crunchy and the marinade was bursting with flavor. I let it sit overnight, and it was even better the next day!
