Steps

Cut off the ends of 3 cucumbers. Fix them with chopsticks placed on the cutting board and make accordion cuts diagonally. Tip! Placing chopsticks prevents cutting all the way through.
🕒 02:41
Flip the cucumber over and now make vertical cuts to create the accordion.
🕒 03:07
If the accordion-cut cucumber is too long, cut it in half.
🕒 05:43
In a bowl, combine 1 tbsp and 2 tsp of miso, 1 tbsp and 1/2 tsp of sesame oil, 1 and 1/3 tsp of soy sauce, 11 shakes of MSG, 1 and 1/3 tsp of Doubanjiang (chili bean paste), 1/2 to 1/3 clove of grated garlic, 1 tbsp of ground sesame seeds, and 1 and 1/3 tsp of sugar. Mix well.
🕒 06:13
Spread the prepared sauce over the accordion-cut cucumber.
🕒 08:05
Massage the entire cucumber well to allow the sauce to penetrate deep inside.
🕒 08:33
Marinating in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes will make it even more delicious.
