Place the thinly sliced cucumbers into a medium-sized bowl. Add the salt and toss thoroughly to coat all cucumber slices evenly.

Let the salted cucumbers sit for 10 minutes. This will draw out excess water from the cucumbers.

After 10 minutes, drain the excess water from the bowl. Gently squeeze the cucumber slices with your hands to remove any remaining liquid. Transfer the drained and squeezed cucumbers to a clean bowl.

To the bowl with the drained cucumbers, add the chopped spring onion, minced garlic, chili flakes, red chili powder, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, granulated sugar, and sesame seeds.

Using your hands (wearing gloves is recommended to avoid chili irritation), thoroughly mix all the ingredients together until the cucumber slices are evenly coated with the vibrant reddish dressing.

Serve immediately and enjoy your chatpati and delicious instant cucumber kimchi!
