Slice the cucumbers into thin half moons.
Cut the scallions on the diagonal and crush the garlic.
Mix the soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, gochugaru, garlic, and salt in a bowl.
Gently toss the cucumber and scallions with the sauce without crushing them.
Rest the salad in the refrigerator for 8 minutes.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve cold.
💡 Tip: Do not salt the cucumber too far ahead, if it sits too long it releases water and dilutes the sauce.
