Slice the English cucumbers into thin rounds and set aside.
In a small saucepan, mix together gochujang paste, rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat gently over medium-low heat, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved completely.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
In a large bowl or jar, combine cucumber slices, minced garlic, and green onion.
Pour the cooled gochujang mixture over the cucumber slices, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld, preferably overnight for a more intense flavor.
Before serving, sprinkle with sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
