About Korean spicy cucumbers

Korean Spicy Cucumbers, or "Oi Muchim," are a flavorful side dish originating from Korean cuisine. Made with fresh cucumbers, they are sliced and mixed with seasonings like gochugaru (Korean red chili flakes), garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, and a touch of sugar. This dish provides a balance of spicy, tangy, and slightly sweet flavors, making it a popular banchan (side dish) served alongside rice and main courses. Cucumbers are low in calories and high in hydrating water content, which supports overall hydration and skin health. They are also a source of fiber and vitamins, such as vitamin K and C. However, depending on the recipe, sodium levels from soy sauce can be on the higher side, so moderation is key for those monitoring salt intake. Bold and refreshing, Korean Spicy Cucumbers are a nutritious and zesty addition to any meal.
