My favorite chilled soup. A bit unusual, but extremely refreshing on a
hot day.
ICED CUCUMBER SOUP
Cucumber Cold Soup - Oi Naeng-kuk
Cucumber : 2
Slivered wakame: 1 Tbsp [optional]
Green onion : 1/2 stalk
Garlic : 1 clove
Soy sauce : 2 Tbsp
Vinegar : 3 Tbsp
Sugar : 1 Tbsp
Sesame seed, roasted : 1/2 tsp
Hot pepper powder : 1 tsp or to taste
Water: 4 cups
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.
