Cut the kombu into small pieces with kitchen scissors.

1. Asian cucumbers are thinner than English cucumbers. You can use Persian cucumber, carrots and daikon radish as a substitute.
2. You can keep it for 3-4 days in the marinade, but if they cucumbers taste too salty, feel free to discard the marinade at any point.
<Storage time>
Keep it in a zip top bag in the fridge for 3-4 days.
