In a large bowl combine Toasted Sesame Oil, Cucumber White Barrel Aged Balsamic, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger. If you want to make it spicy, optionally add the red chili flakes or Sriracha Sauce.
Add the cucumbers to the large bowl and toss to combine with the sauce. Cucumbers can be served immediately or left to marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
