Stack and roll the strips into a spiral shape.
Place the rolled cucumber spirals into a rectangular glass container.
Prepare the dressing: pour honey into a glass bowl, then add the dark liquid (soy sauce) and grate garlic into it; combine with the garlic chilli crisp, mirin, and sliced spring onion.
Pour the dark dressing over the cucumber spirals in the glass container and marinate for at least 1 hour.
