Oi Bokkeum

(Stir-fried Cucumbers)

Oi bokkeum (오이볶음) is a stir-fried cucumber side dish that’s quick and easy to make. Oi is cucumber, and bokkeum means stir-fried.

Cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise, and then thinly slice crosswise slightly diagonally. If the cucumbers are thin, you can simply cut into thin rounds.

1

Lightly salt the cucumber slices with salt to coat evenly. Let sit for about 10 minutes.

2

Tightly squeeze out the water content from the salted cucumber slices. Don’t worry about bruising them. They will bounce back when stir-fried.

3

Heat a pan over high heat. Add oil to the pan. Quickly stir in the garlic. Add the cucumbers. Stir-fry for a minute until the cucumbers are slightly cooked. Toss well with the scallion, sesame oil, and sesame seeds.

Enjoy!
