This dish is great for those times when you need one more dish but you don't have enough time nor ingredients.
I came up with this idea just at such a moment and used what I could find in the refrigerator.
Honestly, it only takes 3 minutes to make. Easy, but an authentic taste.

The tartness of salt-cured plum (umeboshi) is great in this recipe. If using sweet honey-soaked umeboshi, replace the mirin with an equivalent amount of Japanese noodle dipping sauce.
Use mentsuyu (Japanese noodle dipping sauce) that's been concentrated about 3-4 times.
Adjust the quantity to your liking. Recipe by Ichigoaporo

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Pound the washed cucumber lightly as you roll it. It's fine if it breaks a little.

    Cut the cucumber into rolling wedges. Take out the stones from the umeboshi, and roughly pound.

  3. 3

    Put the cucumber in Step 2 with the mentsuyu and mirin in a plastic bag, and rub together for about a minute. Mix fairly rigorously.

  4. 4

    Serve topped with dried bonito flakes.
