Step 1
Julienne the 2 cucumbers into thin matchsticks and place in a large bowl. Tear the 1/4 cup mint leaves and set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 tbsp chili oil, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tsp sugar until the sugar dissolves.
Step 3
Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and toss well to coat. Let sit for 2-3 minutes so the flavors meld.
Step 4
Sprinkle the torn mint leaves over the salad and toss gently. Serve immediately, garnished with extra mint if desired.
