1. After washing the cucumber, cut it into even strips.
2. Put a teaspoon of salt and mix well.
3. Find a larger container, preferably one with a hole in the bottom. Put the cucumber strips in, then press them on with a heavy object and let them sit for 6 hours.
4. Cucumbers that lost water after 6 hours are somewhat soft, which is good for further pickling.
5. Mix salt, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, and water into a bowl of marinade.
6. Put the marinade on a low heat and turn off the heat as soon as it boils.
7. While hot, pour the cooked marinade into the cucumber strips, add mint, and marinate for 2 hours before eating.
