Octopus and Cucumber in Mildly Sour Vinegar

This is my family's easy vinegar dish. Recipe by Y's

At the supermarket, I found marinated octopus and cucumber in the deli aisle and thought I could make it by myself! So, imagining the taste, I made it.It's easy, but my husband really likes it, so decided to post this recipe.If desired, add myoga ginger and shiso leaves.You can use garlic soy sauce instead. (If you use garlic soy sauce, you do not need grated garlic.) For 2 servings. Recipe by Komomomomo

I love sunomo (dishes with vinegar marinades), so came up with recipe! Be sure to drain the cucumber and wakame well. You can substitute the grated ginger sold in a tube if you want. Adjust the amount of shirasu sardines to your liking. You don't have to use them. Recipe by Kumahachi

I wanted to make a light and refreshing salad!Use plenty of shiso leaves. For 2 servings. Recipe by Teroron

I bought some really fresh cucumbers, so I thought up this recipe.This is good with ground sesame seeds, but by using toasted whole sesame seeds, you can enjoy the fresh taste of the cucumber. The fragrant nuttiness of the sesame seeds fills your mouth as you chew the rough bits of cucumber. Fellow COOKPAD user "youichie" reminded me that this tastes better if you let it rest for a while to let the flavors meld. Also, user "riebel's" comment made me think of this: the sesame vinegar gets watered down by the moisture in the cucumber to the point where you can drink it up, but if you're in a situation where that would be rather impolite, reserve the sesame seeds and scatter on the cucumber just before serving to prevent it from going to waste.

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

Sunomono means seasoned with vinegar. It’s a tipical Japanese food.

I think that vinegar dishes taste great in the summer. I substituted the sesame oil from the cucumber vinegar dish that I normally make with mustard, and made a Chinese-style version.Make sure to check the flavor before serving it. Add salt if it is weak, or add a little water if it is too strong. It also tastes great if you substitute mustard for julienned or grated ginger. Recipe by Iku..

Το πιο νόστιμο χταπόδι που έχω ποτέ δοκιμάσει! Είναι και πολύ εύκολο!!Λίγα μυστικά ακόμαΗ επιτυχία αυτής της συνταγής είναι πως δεν αφήνουμε το χταπόδι να στεγνώσει αλλά το κατεβάζουμε από τη φωτιά όταν θα έχει δημιουργηθεί κάτι σαν πηχτή σάλτσα. Επίσης δεν χρειάζεται να προσθέσετε καθόλου αλάτι.Ευχαριστούμε την ANGOLINA για τις φωτογραφίες βήμα βήμα.

I created this with a refreshing taste as a side dish to eat between main dishes. My guests rave over this marinade.The web of skin between the octopus tentacles is too watery, so discard.Try this recipe with parboiled squid, ham, or smoked salmon.Grain vinegar tends to be a bit too strong, so I don't recommend it.For those who find the onion too sharp or strong-smelling, soak in water before Step 2. Recipe by Gima-ru

My mother usually gives me vegetables and fruits, but this time, she gave me boiled octopus. I'm so obsessed with butter and ponzu sauce these days that I cooked the octopus with it.I used garlic powder to make this recipe simple, but you could also use chopped or tubed garlic. In that case, add butter and stir-fry over low heat until it releases a nice aroma before adding the octopus. For about 3 servings. Recipe by Takuchi

My mother used to make this for me when I was a child and didn't like vinegar.Make sure to squeeze out the cucumber very well. For 2 servings. Recipe by suzu-ren

My mother always had these in the fridge. They've become sort of a comfort food for me :)

I tried adding cherry tomatoes to the usual marinated octopus. Ponzu is so versatile; I end up using it in a lot of dishes.Be sure to chill well before serving.You could use the onion without soaking in water, but one time they were pretty harsh, so I soak them just in case. It could depend on the type of onion though. For 2 servings. Recipe by Ayatan

Refreshing and perfect for spring and summer

Another dish from my childhood. I remember having this by the river on picnic days with the family.

This is a traditional Spanish dish that's perfect if you're looking for something fun to serve for dinner! The flavor of the olive oil from Spain helps to perfectly cook the tender octopus so that it's juicy, fragrant, and melts in your mouth. Served on top of a perfectly cripsed potato thanks to the EVOO that it's cooked in with a pinch of sea salt for an extra bite of taste.

This is on many restaurant menus, but I wanted to eat it at home so I made it. Sesame seeds really makes it fragrant.Adjust the amount of soy sauce to taste. The amount will depend on how much salt you use. For 2 to 3 servings. Recipe by Da-jirinchan

Sanbaizu 三杯酢 literally means “3 cup vinegar”. In general, it’s known as a type of sweet sour dressing in Japan.

It may not be for everyone, but we like it if you think the vinegar is to much cut back to half.

Cucumber has a lot of moisture, so adding boiled egg helps to release water. It leaves the flavor of egg, at the same time, giving body to the taste and a plain flavor.

I love seafood.This tasty dish needs to chill, so it is good to cook beforehand and leave in the fridge.Please adjust the vinegar and soy sauce amounts as you like.If you add a pinch of roasted garlic powder, it deepens the taste with a roasted aroma.If you use sashimi grade octopus, boil the water first, turn off heat, and add the octopus, leaving it for just 20-30 seconds. This texture and sweetness is perfect!! Recipe by pisyu

I love cucumber marinade, it’s not just for the cukes. I use it on my green salad too. #GlobalApron 2024

This is a remake of a recipe from "Stock and Remake for Quick Summer Dishes". If you make the Honey Vinegar Miso Chicken Breasts -, then you can use it for dinner or bento lunch boxes for the next day. Very convenient!Use your thumbs and pointer fingers on both hands to firmly massage the whole of the chicken breast, and break up into large pieces for a soft texture. Put this over somen noodles for Chinese-style. You can also substitute boiled cabbage for the cucumber! Recipe by Mizkan

I wanted to increase my repertoire for cod, since my daughter loves it, so I came up with this version with a veggie-packed sweet vinegar ankake sauce.Prepping the cod well eliminates the unpleasant fishy smell and helps keep it from breaking apart while cooking.Thinly slicing the green pepper horizontally will soften its texture.If you will prepare your katakuriko slurry with the method shown here, you'll be able to avoid lumps. Recipe by Mimosa

I just came up with this recipe.None in particular. Just toss everything together. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

Mozuku is a kind of edible seaweed like nori which looks like a lot of brown slimy threads. It is considered a Japanese delicacy, especially when seasoned with vinegar. In a fridge it can be saved for 1 week.
