This is a pickle-related recipe, my favorite thing on a hot day.  I don't have
documentation but it is certainly less glaring an anachronism than is Gatorade!

Cucumber Cold Soup
            - Oi Naeng-kuk

2 Cucumbers
1 Tbsp. Wakame [shredded dry seaweed, omit if you are that squeamish or can't get
it but the mineral value is important]
1/2 stalk Green onion
1 clove Garlic  :
2 Tbsp. Soy sauce
3 Tbsp. Vinegar
1 Tbsp. Sugar
1/2 tsp. Sesame seed, roasted
1 tsp. Hot pepper powder
Salt

1. Wash the cucumbers scrubbing with salt.
Cut them in thin strips, or slice them 1/10 inch thick.

2. Crush the garlic and chop the green onion.

3. Put the cucumbers, wakame, green onion, garlic, hot pepper powder, and 1
tablespoonful of vinegar in a bowl. Mix them well by hand.

4. Combine the remaining vinegar, sugar, and soy sauce with 4 cups of cooled
water.

5. For serving, pour the cooled soup on the mixture in the bowl, then sprinkle
the
roasted sesame seeds. Transfer it to individual bowls. This is often served with
an ice
cube in the bowl.
