Begin by washing your English cucumber thoroughly under cold running water. Subsequently, place your mandoline slicer over a large glass jar or container. While holding the cucumber carefully, begin slicing it into thin, even rounds directly into the jar. Consequently, this technique allows the dressing to pool directly with the sliced cucumbers as preparation continues.

Once all cucumber slices have been transferred to your container, add the minced garlic clove to the jar. Then, distribute the chopped spring onions evenly throughout the cucumber slices. Meanwhile, ensure these ingredients are positioned throughout the mixture for balanced distribution.

Next, pour the soy sauce into your jar, distributing it as evenly as possible. Subsequently, add the toasted sesame oil in a circular motion around the container. Then, sprinkle the fish sauce (if using) and add your pinch of MSG. Following this, the sugar should be sprinkled across the top of the mixture. Accordingly, these liquid ingredients form the flavorful dressing for your cucumber salad.

Secure the lid tightly onto your jar or container. Subsequently, shake the jar vigorously for approximately one minute, ensuring all ingredients combine thoroughly. While shaking, you’ll notice the dressing distribute throughout the cucumber slices, coating them evenly.

After shaking, carefully remove the lid and sprinkle the sesame seeds across the top of your cucumber salad. Additionally, add red chili flakes if you prefer spicier salad recipes. Consequently, your logan cucumber salad recipe is now ready for immediate consumption.
