Step 1

Select two cucumbers of similar size and length, and cut each into 3-4 segments of consistent size. Cut a thick round slice from each segment, then use a spoon to carefully scoop out the inner flesh. Set aside. Cut the remaining cucumber into thin strips.

Step 2

Blanch the corn, radish, and ham in boiling water for a few minutes until cooked. Add a pinch of salt.

Step 3

Drain the blanched ingredients in cold water, then drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle with chili circles. You can also stir-fry other ingredients, but to save time, I will skip this step.
