Prepare the Cucumbers:

Cut cucumbers in half across the middle.

Slice the cucumber sections in half lengthwise, leaving the last 1/4 inch uncut.

Prepare the vegetables:

Grate or shred the Daikon and lightly salt.

Mix the Seasoning Paste:

Place the garlic, onion half, and ginger into a blender with just enough water to blend into thick smooth paste. Pour into a medium non metallic mixing bowl.

Add all other seasoning ingredients and mix well. Add water as needed to maintain a thick paste.

Add chive, daikon, and green onion, mix well.

Let stand fifteen to twenty minutes.

Stuff Cucumber
