Homemade Pickled Cucumbers - Just Like "Kyuuri no Kyuuchan"
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
I received some of this from a neighbor and was amazed - it was just like Kyuuri no Kyuuchan! I didn't know you could make it at home! So, I asked my neighbor for the recipe.
These are rather assertively flavored. If they are too strong for you, increase the cucumbers or reduce the flavoring ingredients. Recipe by yamita

I used the left over pickling liquid after making a 3nd batch of pickles with it for "Easy and Healthy Oil-free Grilled Horse Mackerel with Nanban Sauce" -. So thrifty and eco-friendly.

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

[A Nutritionist's Recipe] Spicy Pickled Cucumbers
The recipes include lots of potassium-rich vegetables, which the body needs during the summer. One was this standard tuna and cucumber combination with a different seasoning mix. It is quick to make and even the kids enjoy it.1 serving: 110 cal, sodium: 1.0g.Chop the cucumbers into large chunks. If you chop them into small pieces, there will be a lot of surface space and you will need more seasoning ingredients to get a a good flavor. Lightly flavor the cucumbers with soy sauce and set aside, then flavor with the curry powder and vinegar. This will allow for a strong flavor with a little salt. Recipe by Mizkan

Pickled Cucumber - Asian Cucumber Salad
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)
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
Cucumber Pickles
I adopted a recipe that I saw in a book about 10 years ago.※ If you can, use premade pickling spice to make authentic and spicy pickles. But if you cannot find it, use a mixture of 5 grains of black pepper corn, 1 red chili pepper, and 1 bay leaf.※ You can eat it on the first day, but it's best after 3 days. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

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

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.

Since it's the season for fresh ginger, so I made a small jar of pickled ginger this year.You can also use store-bought plum vinegar.

Since fresh ginger often has dirt on the joints connecting the roots, be sure to carefully wash them. Recipe by Suika
Pickled Radish and Cucumber
I had a bunch of homegrown radishes. Pickling is the best way to prepare them.For the photo, I cut only some of the cucumbers jabara style. Since the radishes were the elongated variety, I halved them lengthwise. The kombucha gives instant pickles a good taste. The shredded kombu also gives a good flavor, and turns it into a Japanese style salad. It's addictive. Recipe by commeline
