I created this recipe to balance the flavours to my liking.A large amount of white (daikon radish) with a small amount of red (carrots) will look beautiful.

She is now married to him! Recipe by Pepperminttea

I get cravings for this mul kimchi on hot days. Since real pickling and fermentation take a little time, on those days I use some vinegar to enjoy this instant mul kimchi. Since you can enjoy both the kimchi and the juice, using high quality water makes it extra tasty.I had myoga ginger on hand so I used that, but you can add ingredients like pears or apples to make it fruity and extra delicious.Don't throw away the vegetable juice released from the salt - you can use it!Before you pour in the water make sure you properly let the flavor develop.

If they simmer too long, the texture will change, so be careful!-These will last for about a month, so I recommend making a large batch! For 1 jarful. Recipe by Mizorecchifan

My mother told me that dried persimmon taste great with daikon namasu pickles, so with the yuzu from my garden and flavorful dried persimmons, I made some daikon namasu.I'm posting it here for my own record.This tastes good if you make it during the day and serve it at night, but it's even better after a day, once the dried persimmon absorbs the juices. It will keep in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days if stored in a tight resealable container. For 4 servings. Recipe by Ponie

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

The cucumber dish served at a certain chain restaurant was delicious, so I tried to recreate it at home.Adjust the amount of salt to taste.

For 2 servings. Recipe by smooth

From middle school to high school, I would often visit a Protestant church.I recently recalled how the pastor of the church would always serve these pickles during meals, and taught me how to make them.While they are on the sweet side, they taste almost exactly as I remembered.Try it during the summer when you need a way to consume your stock of cucumbers.If you drain the cucumbers after brining, use less seasonings overall.This recipe makes a sweet pickle, so adjust to taste.You could also use powdered white pepper, but in that case, reduce it to about 1 teaspoon.They will last in the refrigerator for up to a week. Recipe by Jikana

This is just a simple dish that I made with store-bought pickles.If you don't have enough sauce, feel free to top it up with soy sauce, mirin or cooking sake. If you find it too rich, then you can dilute it with hot or cold water. Alternatively, you could add diluted mentsuyu instead. If you aren't using store-bought pickles, finely slice the kombu and dried squid and then carry out the same steps as in the recipe.Salmon roe also makes a delicious addition to this dish.
