Instructions
Wash and thinly slice the English cucumbers. For a prettier presentation, use a spiralizer or vegetable peeler to create ribbons.

In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, freshly grated ginger, minced garlic, and the stevia or monk fruit sweetener until well combined.
In a large bowl, combine the cucumbers, red onion, and the dressing. Toss gently to ensure the cucumbers and onions are evenly coated.
Add the sesame seeds and red chili flakes, mixing them into the salad. Adjust the seasoning with salt as needed.
Thinly slice the green onions and sprinkle them over the top of the salad for garnish.
Let the salad sit for at least 10 minutes in the refrigerator before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled for the best taste experience.
