Chilled Cucumber in Sauce

Love Greek food but with a healthy twist! Also took an "after" shot - this is so good it was eaten quickly!

Ty Sport! Hope u like it babes ;-)

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

Since I love the combination of umeboshi and miso, I tried it out on pounded cucumber.It's best to use unsweetened umeboshi. If left sitting for too long, this will become watery, so serve as soon as you mix in the seasoning. It has 53 kcal per serving. Recipe by LazyHata

This cold dish use oriental eggplant. Usually when cook this dish, deep fried eggplant is a common way to keep the purple of eggplant. Some people blanch eggplant with plenty of water.

Awesome Sauce

I had garlic marinade in soy sauce, so used it on some cucumbers I happened to have at home.I omit red chili peppers from mine since I serve it to my kids, but if you like spicy food, try adding some chili.This can be made with celery as well. Recipe by milk chai

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..

Basil sauce itself doesn't blend well with the pasta, but I didn't want to add so much oil.That's why I experimented with mixing in yogurt. It surprisingly added a rich flavor to the sauce and it was quite tasty.This dish is also great as a side dish for a richer main dish!Please leave out the lemon juice if you're not a fan of tart food.Taste the basil sauce beforehand and adjust the amount of salt and pepper for the seasoning.Squeeze with a cloth or paper towel and drain it well. For 1 serving. Recipe by Nanamama

A favorite Mediterranean sauce we all know and love! Made right at home!

This is great on alot of different things, like grilled meat and veggies. If you use a regular cucumber instead of an English cucumber, be sure to scrape the seeds out before dicing it. Also, if using freshly chopped dill weed instead of dried, use about 1 tbsp.

A native vegetable in Kaga prefecture, Kaga cucumbers are larger and wider than common Japanese cucumbers. The flesh is thick and has a dense texture, and can be used in cooking. It has such substance that it can even be featured in a main dish.In the summertime, serve this dish chilled, and the ankake thick sauce will cool you down nicely.The imitation crab meat is optional. Minced chicken or shrimp also goes well in this recipe.Light soy sauce enhances the color of the fresh green cucumbers better than regular soy sauce.This dish will also be delicious if you use your homegrown overgrown fat cucumbers to make this dish, too.

I love pasta with avocado and basil sauce, but over the years, since the flavor has gotten a bit overpowering, I've been adding lemon juice; But adding ponzu brought the flavors together and it was tasty The tartness of the tomatoes is also a perfect match. I use my own recipe for the basil sauce.Adjust the amount of basil sauce to taste. Since the flavor of store-bought basil sauce varies, you may need to add more flavor with grated cheese and a pinch of consommé stock granules. It's also tasty if you chop up a small pat of cream cheese and mix it into the pasta. Recipe by putimiko

My oldest son loves cucumber so much, you might wonder if he's actually a kappa. Plus, he adores salty foods. So, this recipe dedicated to him.The amount of salt at step 5 depends on how much salt and pepper you add at step 3, so add to taste.At summer time, you'll get lots and lots of cucumbers and don't know what to do with it When that happens, you can use it all up in this delicious way.Try this recipe using other vegetables like cabbage too. Recipe by Kana2143

I knew there must be a way to make this sauce with things at home! Here's what my research uncovered.If you like the flavor to be more sour or strong, adjust by adding more condiments until you obtain the desired result.I personally don't like it sour, so I've only listed the minimum amount of vinegar. For 2 servings. Recipe by okkomaru

We love pasta in our house, so we enjoy it in many ways.I made a variation of my recipe for Chilled Tomato Soup Pasta that tasted more like the "Chilled Tomato Sauce Pasta with a Punch" that's served at Italian restaurants in Japan in the summer.* All the directions are hints, but Steps 11 through 16 are especially important; they will decide the flavor. However, don't squeeze too much in Step 15.* It may seem like there's a lot of garlic, but it's the right amount.* Be careful to preserve the shape of the tomatoes. Recipe by *ai*

This is my take on this West Indies Greek fusion dish

In the summer, I make a lot of dishes with all-purpose Korean sauces, and this is one of my favorites.Chill the sauce and the steamed eggplant well and add the sauce just before serving. Recipe by kebeibiko

I though of a recipe where you can eat a lot of cabbage.Drain the cabbage well.I really recommend adding the umami seasoning.Add coarsely ground pepper if you like! I put a lot in. Recipe by EnjoyKitchen

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

Simply put, I just love pasta.I use fresh tomatoes, but you could also use 200 ml store-bought or homemade tomato sauce, although the process from Steps 5-11 will be different.For store-bought or homemade sauce, I recommend adding grated garlic to taste. Recipe by *ai*

Summer is the season where chilled Chinese noodles are being served everywhere. I get tired of the usual taste so I came up with various toppings and a different sauce.If you don't have tomato juice, you can use mineral water (or regular water). You can use tuna that's packed with oil or non-oil! I always use non-oil. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei

I use 3 servings of chilled Chinese noodle packets (together in 1 package) that they serve in the supermarkets. For a 4 person family, you can buy 2 packages of 3 servings, but there will always be 2 servings leftover.I made enough homemade sauce to make up for what you don't have.You can change the ratio of ingredients to your preferences. I think it's fun to try to find your favorite taste. Recipe by hirokoh

When steaming hot days continue, we all lose our appetites. That's when I make this recipe. I like that you can eat a lot of vegetables while slurping the cold, refreshing noodles. Vary the mixture of vegetables by using lettuce instead of cucumber, or adding tomatoes, and so on.Change up the vegetables and find your favorite combination! For 3 servings. Recipe by TABEGOTO

Even if I buy a bottle of store-bought chilled pork shabu-shabu sauce, I can never finish it all. It always ends up expiring before I can use it up. That's why I made this recipe! You can prepare any amount you'd like at home.The sharp taste of daikon radish differs depending on the season, so please adjust the amount of the seasonings to your liking. For 1 serving. Recipe by Hokkori-no

I used the sauce from a related recipe for boiled pork but simplified it by using thinly sliced meat.For kids who do not like spicy foods, omit the doubanjiang and red chili oil. It still tastes great without it.Make sure not to over boil the pork! Recipe by Chiton
