- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar

Begin by washing the cucumbers thoroughly. Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sugar. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved.
In a large mixing bowl, add the sliced cucumbers. Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and toss to coat evenly.
Finely chop or mince garlic and sprinkle it over the cucumbers. Add sesame seeds and toss again.

Once marinated, give the salad another quick toss and serve chilled as a refreshing side dish.
