Grate garlic and mix it into the cucumbers.

Add 1-2 tablespoons of low sodium soy sauce to the cucumbers.

Add 1-2 tablespoons of rice wine vinegar to the cucumbers, aiming for a 50/50 ratio with soy sauce.

Drizzle sesame oil into the mixture and mix everything together.

Add chili oil for heat, adjusting to taste.
