Easy Microwave-Made Cucumber Pickles
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
I wanted to make some easy pickles from a cucumber that I could put on hamburgers. Since you can make it with a microwave and it takes only a little bit of seasoning, take note of this recipe.
Please be careful, since it can boil over! Please mix well and heat in the microwave until the cucumber's color changes to how it looks in the picture. Please apply the wrap tightly like a lid, to seal out as much air as possible over the cucumber. Recipe by Macchii shokudou

Sweet & Tangy Homemade Cucumber Pickles
This was my first time making homemade pickles, as we grew a decent amount of cucumbers this year in our backyard garden! I looked through alot of recipes before I decided what I wanted to do and this is a combination of a few different recipes. Depending on what size jars you have, what size and how many pickles, and how flavorful you want them you may need to adjust the amounts accordingly. You can also reuse your brine for more pickling! 👏#onerecipeonetree #mycookbook #pickles #diy #sweetpickles #pickledcucumbers #pickledtomatoes
Garlicky Pounded Cucumber Pickles
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. It should be on the salty side if serving as pickles, and less salty if serving as a drinking appetizer. Be sure to taste and adjust the seasoning. The kombu tea is optional, but I highly suggest it. For 2 servings. Recipe by smooth

Easy and Colorful Yellow Cucumber and Onion Pickles
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.

Taiwanese-Style "Kyuchan" Cucumber Pickles
A long time ago, I bought a jar of pickled cucumbers in Taiwan and used them in many dishes, but since they are hard to find in Japan, I decided to make my own!After a lot of trial and error, I finally came up with this recipe!It tastes exactly like the real thing.-Remove the cucumbers from the sauce as soon as it comes to a boil. 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
Mul (Water) Kimchi Instant Pickles
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.

California Farm Pickle Miniature Cucumbers
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
Homemade Pickles That Keep For A Long Time
I've been making pickles this way for 10 years. It's great to be able bite into a sour pickle whenever you feel like it. Most recipes call for an equal amount of water and vinegar, but if you use straight vinegar, these pickles will keep for over a year. Great to stock in the fridge for tartar sauce or whenever else you need them.If the top part is exposed, as shown in the photo, cover with plastic wrap to keep air from getting in. I used mini-cucumbers because I didn't feel like cutting them. You can sterilize the cucumbers with boiling water before pickling. When I use 100% vinegar, I omit this step. Recipe by kebeibiko
Cauliflower Pickles
It's the season of cauliflower.I wanted a refreshing taste, so I pickled them.You could try with cucumbers, cabbages, or also bell peppers.For Step 2: It's fine if you package the cauliflower while it's still hot.
