Steps:
- Slice cucumbers very thinly and place in a large bowl. I like to use a mandoline to keep the slices even and to make the process very fast, but you can just use a knife if you prefer.
- In a separate small bowl or in a jar, whisk or shake together vinegar, water, sugar, salt, pepper and herbs. Pour over cucumbers. Cover; chill at least one hour or overnight. Drain cucumbers and serve!

QUICKIE MARINATED CUCUMBERS
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.

SPICY MARINATED CUCUMBERS (OEE MUCHIM)
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.)

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.)

Tips:
- Select the freshest cucumbers: Look for cucumbers that are firm, deep green in color, and have no blemishes. The smaller the cucumbers, the more tender they will be.
- Prepare the cucumbers properly: Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and cut them into your desired shape. If you want thinner? slices, use a mandoline slicer. For thicker? slices or spears, use a sharp knife.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give your cucumbers their delicious flavor. Be sure to use a combination of ingredients that you enjoy, such as vinegar, sugar, herbs, and spices.
- Let the cucumbers marinate for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate the cucumbers, the more flavorful they will be. If you are short on time, you can marinate them for as little as 15 minutes, but the flavor will not be as developed.
- Serve the cucumbers chilled: Marinated cucumbers are best served chilled. This will help to keep them crisp and refreshing.
