Everyone in my family knows that I don't like cucumber...actually I hate FRESH cucumber. Sorry to FRESH cucumber lovers, but I'm not the only one who hates it. Once I went to a restaurant with two other friends. We got side salads and since I don't eat cucumbers I asked if any of them wanted my gigantic cucumber slices. Usually people look at me weird and gladly take it away from me...but that time both of my friends said they never eat cucumber!! So you see, I'm not alone.
However, as ironic as it may sound...I do LOVE pickles and this spicy cucumber salad! Yummmm!!
In fact, this banchan is my FAVORITE!!!!!! I can eat so much rice with just this alone.
Like I told you before, I hate FRESH cucumber because of that FRESH seed smell, which cucumber lovers like it FRESH... as for me, pickles are 'pickled' and this recipe actually doesn't use the seed part (Keep this in mind to just throw away! or eat it if you must....)
No seeds, spicy, sweet, and fresh crunchy...Mmmmmmmmm...I want some!
Why should you eat this?
1. Eat more vegetables in different ways: In fact, that's the beauty of Korean food! You get to eat vegetables in many tasty ways! Not just regular old salad anymore!
2. Healthy diet and weight loss: more veggies, more benefits your and less greasy stuff means lose weight! Yay!
3. Spicy foods promote and protects health and possibly weight loss too: If you can't take the heat, please don't over do it.
