Asian Cucumbers

This is a nice side to any Asian dish but I also love to eat them on salads. This dish also features Korean red pepper flakes. Korean chili powder tastes different than other red pepper flakes you might be use to. They offer lovely flavor and are not as spicy as other chili powders. I have offered a substitute but note it will make your dish spicier.
