SPICY MARINATED CUCUMBERS (OEE MUCHIM)



Spicy Marinated Cucumbers (Oee Muchim) image

These spicy, refreshing cucumbers are a traditional Korean "banchan," or side dish. Danji chef Hooni Kim brines cucumbers in salt before marinating them in Korean red pepper flakes, sugar, and rice vinegar. (Note: Plan ahead for a day of marination.)

Provided by Hooni Kim

Categories     side-dish

Time 8h50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 English cucumbers, unpeeled, may substitute 5-6 Persian or Japanese cucumbers
1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt
2 tablespoons gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes), available at Asian markets or online
3 tablespoons mirin
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon fish sauce
2 cloves garlic

Steps:

  • Brine cucumbers: Use a mandoline or a sharp knife to cut the cucumbers into ⅓-inch rounds. Place in a colander fitted over a bowl and add salt; mix well to ensure the cucumbers are evenly salted. Let rest at room temperature to drain, 20 minutes. While they drain, prepare the marinade (Step 2).
  • Marinade: In a large bowl, combine the gochugaru, mirin, rice vinegar, sugar, and fish sauce. Smash and peel the garlic, then finely chop. Use the flat part of your knife to press down on the garlic to further break it down, then continue to mince. Add the garlic to the marinade.
  • Marinate cucumbers: Rinse all the salt off the cucumbers with cold water. Whisk the marinade, then add the cucumbers; use a large spoon to toss, making sure the cucumbers are evenly coated with marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Cucumbers will have released more liquid, which helps the marinating process. At this point, they're ready to eat; however, refrigerating overnight will round out the flavors. Place the cucumbers, along with some marinade, in a lidded container and store in the fridge overnight; serve cold. (The cucumbers can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, or for as long as the cucumbers remain firm and crunchy.)

I have not tried this recipe. I'm posting this recipe for safe keeping. I got this recipe from Mr. Food's Quick And Easy Side Dishes. Note: the longer you let these marinate, the more flavorful they become. But if you like them really crisp, then you'd better plan to eat them up within a day (which should be no problem since they're so fresh tasting.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup hot water

  • Use a variety of pickling cucumbers: This will give your pickles a more complex flavor. Good options include Kirby, Gherkin, and Persian cucumbers.

  • Let the pickles marinate for at least 24 hours: This will give them time to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
