Spicy Korean Red Pepper Cucumbers image

This is very spicy and full of flavor. I first tried this dish in a Korean restaurant. The red pepper flavor is the same that is used to make kimchi. After playing with the recipe, I discovered a flavor that my Korean boyfriend loves. You can also pour the sauce over lettuce to create a version of the Korean salad some restaurants serve.

I found that the cucumbers were a bit too sour for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference.

I'm not sure why this recipe is called 'spicy' because it really isn't.
