Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of salt on the cut cucumbers, mix well, and let them marinate for 5–6 hours to remove some of their natural moisture. 3. Peel and slice the garlic; wash the ginger, dry its surface, and also slice it. Prepare an appropriate amount of hot peppers and pickled peppers as well. 4. Put soy sauce, white vinegar, and rock sugar into a corrosion-resistant container, add the garlic slices, ginger slices, peppers, and pickled peppers, and let them marinate until the rock sugar melts. 5. Drain the moisture from the marinated cucumbers, then place them in the sauce prepared in the previous step, and let them marinate for about 5 hours. During the marinating process, stir occasionally to ensure that the cucumbers are evenly coated with the sauce. 6. Strain out the marinated cucumbers and the seasonings, leaving behind the sauce. 7. Place the strained sauce in a pot, bring it to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes. 8. Once the sauce has cooled, add the cucumber strips back in and continue marinating for another 5 hours or so. 9. Repeat steps 6 through 8 two to three times. Finally, put the cucumbers along with the sauce in a glass storage container and store it in the refrigerator; it can be eaten whenever desired
