DIRECTIONS

1. SWEAT THE CUCUMBERS Toss cucumber slices with salt in a colander. Let 'em sweat for 10 minutes, then pat dry. This step levels up the crunch.

2. BUILD THE FIRE In a bowl, whisk garlic, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and JACK BEAR Angry Panda Hot Honey. Stir in red pepper flakes and chili oil if you're feeling bold.

3. TOSS & FINISH: Add the cucumbers to the bowl and toss until coated. Top with sesame seeds and scallions. Let it chill for 5–10 minutes so the flavors settle in.

PRO TIP:
Serve it cold with grilled meats, spicy noodles, or straight from the bowl when the heat calls for something fresh—but with a bite.
