This is called Chinese Criss Cross Cut Cucumber.
But Slinky is a good name for it too. Just a fun way to eat some spicy cucumber salad. No times for boring salads. I choose a Korean style dressing.
Just take two wooden cooking spoons and place the cucumber in between. First step: cut the cucumber diagonal, but not too thin.
Second step: turn it on the other side and cut straight between the other cuts. Now you have a slinky and carefully pull it apart. Now you can bend it into a circle.
Dressing:
1 tsp neutral oil
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
2 tsp light soy sauce
1 tsp vinegar
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp agave syrup
Onion powder, garlic powder, ginger powder
Add as much Gochugaru hot pepper flakes and toasted sesame seeds as you like.
I added some chopped fresh herbs from my balcony for more freshness.
