Ingredients

• 1 whole Cucumber (preferably Korean or English cucumber, thinly sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce (low‑sodium preferred)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil (toasted sesame oil for flavor)
• 1 clove Garlic (grated)

• ¼ teaspoon MSG (optional, enhances umami)
• 1 teaspoon Chili Crisp (adds mild heat and crunch; optional)
• 1 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Seeds (for garnish)
