Cooking Steps
Before starting, wash and dry all produce.Heat Guide for Step 4 (dbl for 4 ppl): 1 tsp medium, 2 tsp spicy and 1 tbsp extra-spicy! Cut the cucumbers into 1/2-inch half-moons. Whisk together the vinegar, 1 tbsp oil and 1 tsp sugar (dbl both for 4 ppl) in a large bowl. Add the cucumbers and carrots. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
While the veggies pickle, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the sesame seeds to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Transfer to a small bowl.
