Season sliced cucumbers

This dish is Korean and has no fat. It is one of the items I have as a mid day snack or with a small meal as a side dish.  This is also a great side dish for a barbecue or buffet.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low salt)
  • 1/2 of one cube beef bullion
  • 3 packs Splenda or Nutrasweet
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon Asian pepper flakes (used in Kimchi)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 4 Korean or kirby cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1 small white onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
  • dash MSG

Directions

Whisk together everything except the cucumber in a large bowl. Add the cucumber and stir until combined. Let marinate at least 1 hour before eating.

Note: You can also add sliced cherry tomatoes to this and it looks great!  Adjust the vinegar and water amounts to taste for acidity.
