Spicy Korean Cucumber Salad (10 Minutes ONLY!)

Spicy Korean Cucumber Salad (10 Minutes ONLY!)

This spicy and savory cucumber salad will be the ultimate hit at every summer picnic and gathering.

The best part is – Spicy Korean Cucumber Salad only takes 10 minutes to prepare. Spicy Korean Cucumber Salad – Oi Muchim is super refreshing, and you can also prepare it ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days! I have it as a side dish for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Refreshing Asian Salad

Spicy Korean Cucumber Salad is crunchy, savory, tangy, and highly addicting.

Just Oi Muchim and a bowl of rice are all I need for breakfast. I like to make my Spicy Korean Cucumber Salad in bulk; I also find that after you leave it overnight, the cucumber gets even more flavourful and delicious! 

Depending on your spice tolerance, you can adjust the amount of Korean Chili Paste to your liking.

Today I am making a mild version; if you want to add more heat, you can increase chili paste and chili pepper. Alternatively, for those who don’t like spicy food,  I also have a savory and refreshing cucumber salad that is kid-friendly. 

Spicy Korean Cucumber Salad (10 Minutes ONLY!)

I make side dishes such as Spicy Korean Cucumber Salad, Spinach Salad, Marinated Quail Eggs, and Taiwanese Cucumber Salad in bulk.

I always have many side dishes in the fridge ready to put together a healthy and satisfying meal that takes less than 5 minutes. If you like it spicy, you can also add a little bit of my homemade bibimbap sauce, which I always make in bulk.

Korean Marinated Eggs

Do you like Korean dishes? Here are some of my go-to recipes that are delicious and easy to make at home! 

  • Bean Sprout Side Dish – Kongnamul Muchim
  • Japchae – Korean Glass Noodle Stir-fry
  • Korean Spicy Soft Tofu Stew – Sundubu Jjigae
  • Marinated Eggs – Mayak Gyeran (EASY!)

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
