1. Julienne the cucumber into thin strips and place in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt, toss, and let sit for 5–10 minutes to draw out moisture.

2. Gently squeeze the cucumber to remove excess water and set aside.

3. Shred or slice the imitation crab sticks into desired pieces and set aside.

4. In a small bowl, mix sugar, garlic powder, mayonnaise, black pepper, and rice vinegar until smooth.

5. In a large bowl, combine cucumber, crab meat, and sauce. Toss gently until evenly coated.

6. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onion, then serve chilled.

Adjust seasoning to taste by adding more vinegar or mayonnaise as preferred.

For extra flavor, add a dash of sesame oil or chili flakes.

Best served fresh but can be chilled for up to a few hours before serving.
