<Notes>
・Soaking the cucumbers overnight is good as well!
・You can swap the salted kelp for 1 teaspoon of kelp powder or Kombucha powder.
・Tobanjan paste is hot, so you can leave it out if you are making this for kids or for anyone who is sensitive to spicy food. Instead, you can add in grated garlic for more flavor however this is totally optional!
<Storage time>
Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
