In a small mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, sugar, sesame seeds, and sliced green onions. Pour in rice vinegar, and add soy sauce and sesame oil. Whisk until sugar is dissolved.

Rinse mini cucumbers under cold water and slice thinly using a sharp knife or mandoline.

Sprinkle sliced cucumbers generously with salt and let them sit in a colander for 8 to 12 minutes.

Rinse the cucumbers under cold running water to remove excess salt, then pat dry.

Combine the cucumbers with the dressing in a large mixing bowl and toss gently.

Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
