Cut the cucumbers into thirds. Then cut each third into quarters.
Transfer the cucumbers to a bowl and add salt. Mix together well and set aside for 20 minutes.
In the mean time, place the minced garlic in a heat-proff bowl. Heat up the oil until hot and carefully pour it over the garlic.
After 20 minutes, drain the cucumber and pat dry with a paper towel.
To the drained and dried bowl of cucumber, add soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, black vinegar, msg and garlic oil.
Toss everything together to combine well.
Garnish with chopped cilantro.
*Optional* Let the cucumber sit in the fridge for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop
Enjoy!
