  • ½ English cucumber

  • 1 ¼ teaspoons salt, divided

  • 3 large green onions, white and tender green parts only

  • 1 large green bell pepper

  • 1 large red bell pepper

  • 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar

  • 1 ½ tablespoons toasted sesame oil

  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

  1. Cut cucumber in half lengthwise and gently scrape out seeds with a spoon. Cut each half crosswise into 2-inch pieces. Cut each piece lengthwise into thin, uniform strips and transfer to a bowl. Toss cucumber with 1 teaspoon salt and let stand 15 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, cut green onions and bell peppers into thin, uniform strips, about 2 inches long.

  3. Transfer cucumber to a fine-mesh sieve, rinse, and drain well. Whisk together vinegar, sesame oil, crushed red pepper, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add cucumber, green onions, bell peppers, and cilantro, and toss well.
