Thinly slice 1 red onion and add it to a bowl with 2 tablespoons lemon juice, ⅛ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes.

Wash and dry 1½ pounds cucumbers, remove the tips as they can be bitter, then put them flat on a cutting board and smack them with a wooden spoon until they crack.

Cut the smacked cucumbers in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds, if any, with a teaspoon.

Slice cucumbers into small bite-size chunks.

Transfer the cucumber into a colander and toss it with 2 teaspoons salt. Now let drain for 15 minutes.

To a small bowl, add rice vinegar, soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, sriracha sauce, ginger (grated), and garlic (grated). Whisk and set aside.

Shake the water off the cucumbers (do not rinse them with water), then transfer them into a bowl and toss them with the dressing.

Garnish with 1 tablespoon sesame seeds and pickled red onions.
