1 large cucumber
1/2 red bell pepper
1 green chili pepper, or to taste
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
chili paste, to taste
Peel cucumber and cut in half horizontally. Scoop out seeds. Slice thinly. Cut bell pepper and chili pepper into thin slices and add to cucumber. Combine garlic, salt, sugar, sesame oil and chili paste and pour over cucumbers.
NOTES : Chili paste is an extremely hot combination of crushed red chilies, garlic, oil and salt. Sesame oil is from Asia and is thick and nutty flavored, made from roasted sesame seeds. Since it burns easily, it is used as a flavoring, not for frying.
