When I first started cooking and asked my mom how much salt I should put, she always told me "taste while you cook, and add more salt if it is too blend, if it is not, don't put any more". I asked her back how many spoonful of salt I should put, then she always repeated herself, "taste it and you will know" :) Moms don't follow recipes, but they just know. So it is quite challenging to me to come up with exact measurement. But I promise I will try! Thanks for your suggestion Steve.

Also some of us are not in a position to get Korean red pepper flakes so a suggestion of perhaps how much italian red pepper flake may be used instead might be in order. Korean red pepper flakes are nowhere near as hot as the Italian ones and depending on the volume of the unknown size of cucumber the amount may vary widely to suit one's tastes. I've faked it as best I could with this recipe.....we'll see.
