I used rice wine vinegar instead of white and chili garlic sauce instead of the red pepper. We really really enjoyed this kind of a fridge pickle with a twist. I will be making this one again!!

I've given the recipe 5 stars based on a few changes I made. The changes were made only because I was missing ingredients. I used ground red pepper (a few shakes, taste, and then a little more), extra pepper because I like it, a little extra sugar because I like that too, no carrots because I didn't have enough and skipped the sesame seeds so justed added in sesame oil instead. I love cucumber salads and I'll be making this one again.

I've been searching for my perfect cucumber salad recipe and this is closer than most, but not quite there yet. I think it needs a bit of sugar added to cut down on the acidity.

I used sesame oil instead of vegetable oil, and added a bit of sugar to balance out the acidity. Very refreshing side dish. I served it with pork pot stickers and Thai Cocunut Soup (from this site) for our Anniversary dinner. Yum!

Made this for a party. Anyone that tried it took one bite, and left the rest. Too spicy. inedible. would not make this again.

This recipe was just OK for me. It was pretty bland and boring. I won't make it again.

This is so great! My whole family loves this salad. I serve it with Bulgogi and rice, or just fix it for quick snacks.

Other than being much hotter than we expected, this had a wonderful flavor. Based on other reviews, I had used a generous 1/4t.- scant 1/2t., but next time will use a scant 1/4 t. We like spicy, and maybe it is a factor of not having had a lot of experience with Korean food, but we had this with the bulgogi from this site, and I think we were expecting the meat to be spicier and the cucumber more cooling! Will add the excess red pepper flakes from this salad to the meat next time!

I prepared this with bulgogi. I eat the Japanese version of this salad all the time, and this recipe wasn't very good.

I fixed this as written and it was very yummy. Nice change from the usual cucumber salad. My husband noticed the subtle heat and really liked it.

I used rice wine vinegar and a 1/2 t sugar to make a sweet and hot dish that got rave reviews. I also marinated it for several hours. The white vinegar was too acidic.

I make a lot of Korean foods since I am Korean and this dish not only tastes authentic, but its very healthy! I used sesame oil instead of veggie oil and added a bit of sugar. The longer it marinates in the refrigerator, the better it tastes! Great recipe! :)

I made it exactly as written except I browned the sesame seeds in half sesame oil and half olive oil. Once it was all put together, I tasted the result and the flavor of vinegar was overpowering. I added more olive oil and sesame oil to the mix and I added half a red bell pepper for color. Can't say I'll make this again, but that doesn't mean others shouldn't give it a try.
