Prepare the cucumbers: Wash and dry cucumbers and trim the ends. Place cucumber between 2 chopsticks. Cut one side at a 45-degree angle. Flip the cucumber over and cut at a straight/90-degree angle.
-
Sprinkle salt over cucumbers and gently massage into them. Let cucumbers soak in salt for 5 minutes (no more than 10 minutes or they will break down). Rinse with cold water at least 3-4 times to completely remove the salt. Strain and set aside.
