Easy cucumber kimchi

I've been thinking about how to make some delicious veggies for my daughter's lunch and decided to play around with kimchi. Tonight I came up with the recipe that turned out nice.

1 cup chopped cucumber
1 tbsp Gochujang
1 tbsp Nouc Mom fish sauce
1 tsp mirin
1 tsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp honey
1 tsp salt

Start by washing and cutting the cucumber into bite size pieces. I like quarter circles about 1/2" thick. Sprinkle 1 tsp of salt on the cucumber and mix it thoroughly. Set it aside for 30 minutes. In the mean time combine gochujang, fish sauce, mirin, soy sauce and honey in a bowl and stir until well mixed. If you want it more spicy, add gochugaru chili pepper.

When 30min is up, rise the cucumber twice with cool water and shake off excess water. Mix the sauce with the cucumbers and it's ready to serve. It goes nicely with rice, noodles or just as a nice snack.

I'm going to try this recipe with zuchinni and daikon to see how that tastes!
