Prepare the Cucumbers : Wash the cucumbers thoroughly. Slice them thinly into rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference. Sprinkle the sliced cucumbers with salt and mix well. Let them rest for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

Mix the Dressing : In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, chili oil, sugar, and sesame oil. Mix until the sugar dissolves completely.

Assemble the Salad : After 10 minutes, rinse the cucumbers under cold water to remove excess salt. Drain thoroughly and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel. Toss the cucumbers in the prepared dressing until evenly coated.

Garnish and Serve : Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds and diced green onions over the salad for added flavor and texture. Serve immediately as a side dish or refrigerate for up to an hour to enhance the flavors further.
