| 2 large cucumbers | 3 Tbs. soy sauce |
| ¼ tsp. crushed red pepper | 1 tsp. sesame oil |
| 1 Tbs. white vinegar |
Wash cucumbers and pat dry. Pound them lightly all over with a kitchen mallet.
Trim off the ends. Peel and cut cucumbers lengthwise into quarters. Cut or scrape away seeds.
Cut each cucumber strip into 1 1/2" lengths. Trim corners of each piece to make them neater. Put pieces in a bowl and toss with remaining ingredients.
Chill and serve.
