Sunomono (Japanese Cucumber and Seafood Salad)

Sunomono (Japanese Cucumber and Seafood Salad)
  • 1 large English cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (8 ounce) package imitation crab sticks, halved
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, or to taste


  1. Lay cucumber slices onto a large plate and sprinkle with salt on both sides. Set aside until water is drawn from the cucumber, about 15 minutes. Brush salt from cucumbers and press with paper towel to remove excess moisture.
