<Miwa’s tips>
Tobanjan paste does contain salt and is spicy. My kids can handle 1 tsp. If you want to make it spicy, feel free to add little by little.
Use smaller cucumbers such as Japanese cucumbers or persian cucumber.If you opt for thick cucumbers, use just one instead of two.
<Storage time>
Store in an air-tight container for up to 4 days in the fridge.
