1 tsp grated ginger

1 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes until well combined.

3. Combine:
Pour the dressing over the cucumbers. Add sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.

4. Chill & Serve:
Toss everything well. Refrigerate for at least 15–20 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve cold.
