Salad Ingredients

- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- A pinch of MSG

Notes
- This salad is best enjoyed fresh to retain cucumber crunchiness.
- Adjust the amount of chili flakes according to your spice preference.
- If you prefer a less salty salad, reduce the soy sauce slightly.
- MSG is optional and can be omitted if preferred or replaced with a small pinch of sea salt.
- This recipe serves one but can be easily scaled up for more servings.
