If you (or your children) do not like spicy cucumber meals, this sautéed cucumber side dish is a wonderful alternative (e.g. Spicy Korean cucumber salad). My little daughter adores it, I must say! She practically gobbles these munchy cucumbers down in a matter of seconds with her tiny fingers, and seeing her makes me happy (& laugh).

Rinse the cucumber well. (If you like, you may take the skin off.) Slice the cucumber thinly and place it in a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Combine the salt and mix them evenly. Allow it to sit for 20 minutes on the kitchen counter.

Squeeze the cucumber to remove the water. (Work in tiny batches.) Set aside.

Preheat the frying pan to medium-high heat. When it's hot, add some cooking oil and distribute it throughout the pan. Stir-fry the cucumber for 30 seconds over a medium-high heat. Stir in the sesame seeds and sesame oil for another 30 seconds. Remove from the fire and set aside for 15 to 30 minutes to cool. Serve.
