Cooked Cucumber - Nogak Namul - Korean recipe for overripe cucumbers[/caption]
Cooked Cucumber Recipe using overgrown, over ripe cucumbers aka Nogak in Korean.
This cooked cucumber recipe makes otherwise unpalatable cucumbers totally delicious! Also often served as Temple Food in Korea.
Cooked cucumber recipe is probably not a common concept for some but it is a common dish called Nogak Namul 노각 나물 in the Korean country side. You can make this cooked cucumber dish with either regular or yellow overgrown cucumbers and you can use any kind of cucumbers, not just English or Korean because you peel the skin and remove the seeds.
This is a wonderful recipe for vegetable gardeners -- when you leave a cucumber on the vine for a long time, past its peak harvest time, it will grow too big, turn yellow with the skin turning really tough and the flesh tasting bitter. I didn't have any yellow cucumbers but I did have one that grew way too big and knew it was getting to be tough and bitter... so I decided to make this cooked cucumber dish with it.
