Tips:
- 1. When smashing the cucumbers, don't smash them too much. Keeping a certain blocky texture makes for a better taste.
- 2. White sugar can enhance freshness, but don't add too much to avoid covering up the natural freshness of the cucumbers.
- 3. After preparing the sauce, you can taste it and adjust the saltiness, sweetness, and sourness according to personal taste.
- 4. After mixing the cucumbers, you can put them in the refrigerator for 15 - 30 minutes to make the taste more refreshing.
