Gather all the ingredients for your Spicy Asian Cucumber Salad.

In your mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, sesame seeds, crushed garlic, and chopped green onions. Stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili oil, and sesame oil until well-blended.

Slice cucumbers to create accordion shapes with diagonal cuts, ensuring fun spirals.

Place sliced cucumbers in a bowl, sprinkle lightly with salt, and let sit for 8-10 minutes.

Rinse cucumbers under cold water to remove excess salt and pat dry.

Pour dressing over cucumbers and toss gently until well-coated. Serve immediately or marinate in the fridge.
