Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare all the ingredients for today’s dish. You’ll need a fresh cucumber, sweet pineapple, and the components for our tasty dressing.
Step 2
Wash the cucumber thoroughly. Remove the seedy core, then slice it diagonally into pieces about 0.5 cm thick. Try to keep the thickness consistent, as slicing too thinly might affect the texture.
Step 3
Cut the pineapple into bite-sized pieces, similar in size to the cucumber slices. If you’re using canned pineapple, drain any excess liquid before adding it.
Step 4
Place the sliced cucumber and pineapple into a large mixing bowl. Look how vibrant the colors are already!
Step 5
Now it’s time to add the delicious seasoning! Add the gochugaru, soy sauce, anchovy sauce, plum extract, vinegar, and sesame seeds to the bowl with the vegetables.
Step 6
Gently mix everything together with a spatula or spoon until the dressing evenly coats the cucumber and pineapple. Finish with a drizzle of fragrant sesame oil. And there you have it – a delicious Pineapple Cucumber Salad ready in just 10 minutes!
