I toasted the sesame seeds and added a touch of pressed garlic. It was delicious and went well with another oriental dish we were serving.

I did a couple of things wrong but when those are corrected this will be very nice. I salted a drained the cucumbers ahead of time to remove excess moisture but that allowed too much marinade soak into the cucumbers. I also let the cucumbers sit too long in the marinade (3 hours and the flavor of the cucumber was lost. But I thought the flavors were really great and didn't think the sesame flavor overwhelming at all. Maybe the previous reviewer added too much sesame oil. Next time I'll add some crushed red pepper and garlic for a little zing. Very nice recipe.

This is one of my family's favorite side dishes. It is also delicious with a little freshly chopped ginger and garlic.
