Instant Prep! Japanese Pub-style Salt Cured Cucumbers

I wanted to make an easy-prep, salt-cured cucumber that even children would like. When I used the recipe with the seasoning from shirasu sauce, it turned out delicious. It's now one of my daughter's favorites. For those who like spice, add red chili peppers when curing.Thoroughly dissolve the sugar. Curing for 2 hours gives a perfect crunchiness and the cucumbers become well cured. If longer, the seasoning will blend in, but the crunchiness will disappear.If you peel the cucumbers a little, they will cure more evenly. Recipe by Tsukonindesumasu

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.

I love Japanese pickles!But the cost of Japanese vinegar and mirin overseas is outrageous!Try this recipe using accessible ingredients.When using Japanese cucumbers, there's no need to remove the seeds. These go so well with rice. Recipe by Popotankobu

I tried making my usual morning pickled cucumbers by using shio-koji instead of my usual method.This recipe is so easy because all you have to do is mix and rub everything together.You can also add some turnips..The amount of salt content in shio-koji varies by brand, so adjust accordingly.

Cucumber has a lot of water so better to pat dry and then combine. The saltiness of the kelp and good flavor of sesame go well with this salad, especially cucumber.

I bought bonito, and wanted to bulk it up instead of eating it as sashimi, so I used it as topping for a donburi rice bowl dish.Garnished with shredded shiso (perilla) leaves or myoga ginger to bring the dish to a higher degree of tastiness.If you don't have sushi rice, it is fine on plain white rice. For 2 servings. Recipe by ma2003co

I'm sharing another pickled cucumber recipe, which is also easy and quick to make. As long as you have all the ingredients at home, you can prepare this dish in half an hour. You can serve this dish after marinating it for 30 minutes, but the longer you marinate it, the more flavorful it'll get. Make sure you keep the pickled cucumber in the refrigerator. And I recommend finishing it within 5 days. This pickled cucumber can be served as an appetizer or a side with any meaty or hearty dish. The refreshing and crunchy cucumber will cut right through the grease. Instruction video (https://youtu.be/TYnfn6JIJew)

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.

Super easy and refreshing dish that’s perfect for a quick side dish. The simple combination of sesame oil, vinegar, soy sauce, and sugar brings out the cucumber’s natural flavor, making it incredibly tasty. It pairs wonderfully with cold beer, making it a great choice for casual gatherings or a light meal! Plus, it gets even better when left overnight, so you can enjoy it the next day too.

I've been making this for so many years...This cabbage with natural salt was part of the menu of an izakaya (Japansese gastro-pub) that I went to. I was kind of surprised that lemon was supposed to be squeezed over the salt while eating, but it was actually really good. Garlic sesame oil is an indispensable sauce that let's you enjoy even something as seemingly bland as cabbage!The salt won't dissolve in the garlic sesame oilbut will sink to the bottom, so be sure to stir it up from the bottom before using it. This very simple and easy recipe really brings out the natural sweetness of the cabbage. Uploading this recipe is kind of embarrassing since it's so easy. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei
