Korean Spicy Cucumber Salad (Banchan)

Oi Muchim 오이무침

Spicy Cucumber Banchan, Oi Muchim 오이무침, is by far one of my favorite go-to recipes throughout the year. This spicy cucumber banchan is simple, yet complex in flavors and texture. Don’t prepare this recipe until just before serving to keep it fresh and crisp!
