The written recipe and tips are here. Are you looking for something refreshing, light, healthy, and cold cold cold? Yes, how about a cold cucumber side dish? In Korean its called oi-naengguk and its perfect for summer! The thin cucumber matchsticks soaked in icy cold, sweet, sour, salty, and garlicky brine will please your appetite. The cold temperature is a nice surprise and the crispy but soft texture of the cucumber is wonderful. A great thing about this side dish is that you can make it in 5 minutes, and you dont need to cook anything at all. Just cut the ingredients and mix. Make this in the summer time, and I guarantee everyone will love it. My cookbook co-writer, Lauren, learned how to make this when she was recipe testing, and got a ton of stars from her family when she served it. They are all fans of oi-naengguk now, and when the book was done Lauren told me its one of her favorite Korean dishes. I was surprised! I originally posted an oi-naengguk video years ago, but this one is a little updated and is a vegetarian version, and the video is HD. If youre looking for the old one, its still here. Ingredients (serves 4) 1 large English cucumber (12 ounces) or 2 to 3 kirby cucumbers, chilled 1 clove garlic, minced 1 green onion, chopped 1 tablespoon chopped fresh red chili pepper (optional) 1 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon soy sauce 2 teaspoons sugar 4 teaspoons vinegar 5-6 cherry tomatoes, sliced (optional) 1 cup cold water 7-8 ice cubes (1 cup) 1- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, ground

Oh, Maangchi, this cold soup has become my fav cold soup. I have made this many times since I watched this vid. Very refreshing during hot summer. I even made this to my mom when I was in Japan last Aug. She loved it. Thanks you.

My mum's fav. But my mum use calamansi juice instead of vinegar. and sometimes add sliced pineapple. then let it soak longer in the fridge before serve.
