Accordion Cucumbers

My friend taught me how to make this dish.Make sure you pour the sauce over the cucumbers while still it's hot. Recipe by taerin

I wanted to eat pickled cucumbers that were not Japanese-style, so I made them spicy by adding ra-yu spicy chili sesame oil.This is simple, so I don't have tips. But if you lett the flavours blend for a long time, go easy on the chili oil and the soy sauce etc... Mix the cucumbers and pickling sauce while pickling in the Tupperware about halfway through. Recipe by Mawaru7

I learned this recipe from my grandparents. It's great for using up lots of cucumbers in the summer.1/2 teaspoon is on the low side, and I prefer about 1 teaspoon. This is best chilled. If the cucumbers look dirty after rolling them on the cutting board, wash them off and sprinkle with more salt. Recipe by Yuki

When I brought a bag of ten of these lightly pickled cucumbers to a barbecue they quickly disappeared.Add the ginger and sesame oil at least 10 minutes after you season the cucumber with salt to allow the cucumber flavour to shine through.When in a rush, you can use less salt than usual and add the sesame oil and ginger a bit earlier. Please adjust the pickling time according to the size of the cucumbers. For 1 bowl. Recipe by nabeko44kazu.

Everyone in my family loved this dish!Although using a plastic bag would pickle more evenly, I make and serve it in a Tupperware. The longer the pickling, the better the flavor.When pickling for a long time, it's good to add ichimi chili pepper powder before serving. Recipe by Team yokin

By peeling the cucumbers, this becomes really colorful, but I didn't want to waste the peel so I added it to the marinade and it was delicious.Chill well and serve. Recipe by kebeibiko

My stepmom makes these at the time. I finally got the recipe. Think bread and butter with onions or anything else you choose.

This is the way my mom cooks cucumbers and it's so delicious.

I love cucumbers. I wanted something green on the dinner table, and this is what I was able to make quickly.The cucumbers will become watery when sitting in your fridge, so make sure to prepare right before serving. Recipe by Harukomachi

Mom said you can have this cucumber if you want to make cucumbers and onions. What do you think ? Was this a HINT ! ?

I adopted a recipe that I saw in a book about 10 years ago.※ If you can, use premade pickling spice to make authentic and spicy pickles. But if you cannot find it, use a mixture of 5 grains of black pepper corn, 1 red chili pepper, and 1 bay leaf.※ You can eat it on the first day, but it's best after 3 days. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

Armenian and persian cucumbers grow well here in our hot desert climate, and we pick them in June, when still small, before they produce a lot of seeds. Skin on, pickled fresh with a solution of boiled wine, vinegar, sugar, water and spices. They hold their delicious, crunchy, sweet-sour-spicy-fresh taste all year, fresh or sterilized.To maintain their tender taste, we do not add the pickling spices we normally use to pickle fully grown English and Californian cucumbers.If not eaten after a week in the fridge, we sterilize the leftover pickles in their mason jar in a waterbath, 15 minutes and keep them in the pantry.#GlobalApron

I made this to satisfy my craving for salt cured cucumbers, and it turned out delicious.In Step 3, it is essential to wash the cucumbers and cutting board and remove the excess water.Adjust the saltiness to suit the size of the cucumbers and type of salted kelp powder. Recipe by Harukomachi

The only thing i do differently on the recipe is i use one large seedless cucumber, around 12" and omit the tomatoes. Very tasty side dish, enjoy!

Japanese-style mustard pickles are delicious, so I thought another more "Western" version using mustard should be great too.By slicing the cucumber diagonally, it will wilt faster.By using a plastic bag, you'll be able to prevent your hands from getting dirty.I added a little sugar for sweetness. Serve these just like you would any other kind of pickle. For 2 servings. Recipe by hitkat

This is a simple recipe from my childhood. My stepfather always made this growing up. We ate this as a side dish, as an appetizer, at cookouts,...even as a topper for other foods! He usually only did "Cucumbers & Tomatoes in Italian Dressing" but when I started making it myself in my late 20s I started adding onion because I'm obsessed with them! 😆👌 Then, in my early 30s a good friend made this at her home with the addition of green peppers as she had grown a lot of them that year. So now, my personal recipe has adapted to the inclusion of all of these wonderful foods! I also, play around occasionally with the dressing. 😎👍 This particular time I used a raspberry vinaigrette in place of Italian Dressing & I have also used regular vinaigrettes as well. This is always a nice addition to dinner or the cookout. And even as a midday snack! 👏🤤

The texture of cucumber improves with this cutting technique.If the cucumbers are thin, you can omit Step 3. Modify this recipe as you wish; it also works with daikon radish or carrots. In Step 4, lightly salt the water to taste. This method of cutting also works well with pickles; just make sure that you handle the cucumbers gently since they break apart easily. Recipe by Mikki-an

I make these often whenever I have an excess of cucumbers. They make great bento fillers, and are super easy.Since the cucumbers are pounded, the flavors absorb easily. Recipe by adusa

My mother used to make this every summer. It's a family favorite.I simply cut up the cucumber roughly, but my mother like to make thin slices into it so it would resemble an accordion. The marinade can be reused as a salad dressing or sauce if it hasn't gotten too watery. Recipe by Setsumika

This dish may not be very well known in Japan, but it's popular in China."Suoi" means "straw rain cape", and "fong gu" means cucumber.It's very simple, but refreshing and delicious.Since it's summertime, I made this into a salad, but if you allow it to marinate for a day, the cucumbers will become tender and the flavors will blend.The suoi fong gu in China is often marinated.

Wasabi adds a delicious accent and a punch to dishes.If you have time, mix the miso and wasabi, add the cucumber and marinate. The flavors will penetrate the cucumber and it turns into a quick pickle. Add mayonnaise just before serving. For 1 cucumber's worth. Recipe by ayureo

This recipe is the result of many experiments with various pickling liquids.Small thin cucumbers that are about 100 g each are tastier than big fat ones with large seeds inside. Recipe by FarmersK

I tried to recreate a side dish that I ate in a Benitora gyoza dumpling restaurant.I changed the tool for pounding from a knife to a rolling pin (users were rightly saying that it's dangerous!). I used a small rolling pin that I would normally use to roll out gyoza dumpling wrappers. Recipe by Setsubunhijiki

My mother came home from the market with a whole lot of cucumbers and a whole lot of apples. So they became Super Bowl Salad.
