It's breathtakingly beautiful. Boil the capellini in boiling water. Meanwhile, Mix soy sauce 2, honey 1/2, vinegar 1, minced garlic 1/2, sesame oil 1, and sesame seeds to make the dressing. Beat a Chwicheong cucumber thoroughly and tear it into bite-sized pieces by hand. Put the cucumber in a bowl, pour the dressing over, and mix well. Don't pour all the dressing in — save a little. Plate the capellini and top with the smashed cucumber. It doesn't sit as prettily as I'd imagined. Pour the reserved dressing over and top with bonito flakes. Referenced @soonsoon.wife.
