In a small plastic container with a lid, add the sesame paste (or unsweetened peanut butter), chili crisp (or chili oil), soy sauce, freshly ground black pepper, chopped green onions, grated garlic, black sesame seeds, and granulated sugar.

Secure the lid on the container and shake it vigorously for about 30 seconds to thoroughly combine all the sauce ingredients until smooth.

Add the thinly sliced cucumbers into the container with the mixed sauce.

Using a spoon or spatula, gently press the cucumber slices down into the sauce to ensure they are partially submerged.

Secure the lid on the container again and shake it vigorously for another 30-60 seconds, or until all the cucumber slices are evenly coated with the Dan Dan inspired sauce.

Transfer the prepared Dan Dan cucumber salad from the container into a serving bowl. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later enjoyment.
