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

Steamed Pork Meat with Salted Shrimp Sauce Steamed Pork Meat with Salted Shrimp Sauce

Shrimp paste is salty in flavour and has a strong preserved shrimp smell. Its a seasoning used in cooking vege, chicken and meat. We use Lee Kum Kee brand for steaming with pork belly and this dish is savoury, salty and sweet, goes well with white rice. It is one of my favorite dish and everytime I have this must add more rice!

Crispy Thinly Sliced Pork with Japanese Leeks and Salty Sauce Crispy Thinly Sliced Pork with Japanese Leeks and Salty Sauce

Our family loves leek-salt sauce with yakiniku (grill or griddle cooked meat) than soy sauce based sauce. The leek-salt sauce they serve at yakiniku restaurant we frequent is so delicious, and seemed easy to recreate, so I tried making it myself. It goes well with chicken karaage (deep fried chicken), so I tried it with thinly sliced pork that was on sale. I also recommend it with crispy chicken skin.I had a lot of oil so I deep fried the meat this time, but you could shallow fry in a frying pan instead. You can coat the meat with potato starch, but if you add rice flour it will be really crispy.The sauce is perfect with stir fried or grilled meats too! Recipe by Recoty

Chinese Cabbage & Bok Choy Salted Pork Belly in Sauce Chinese Cabbage & Bok Choy Salted Pork Belly in Sauce

Back when I was really into salty sauces, I made this using everything I had at home.The vegetables will become tough if you overcook them, so if you think they could be cooked just a bit more, that's a good place to stop the heat.You use the water-dissolved starch to add thickness to the water that's come out from the vegetables. So I think it's okay to only use a little water-dissolved starch. Recipe by chima@.

Thinly Sliced Pork & Mango Sauce with Rice Thinly Sliced Pork & Mango Sauce with Rice

I usually make a lot like when I'm making hayashi rice, and then eat it the next day too.-I used thinly sliced shoulder roast this time.-Step 8: Be careful not to let it simmer for too long.-Step 9: If the saltiness is just right, then just season with pepper.-There will be less liquid in the leftovers, so it's better to heat it up in the microwave than on the stove.

Spring cabbage and pork stir-fry with miso and oyster sauce Spring cabbage and pork stir-fry with miso and oyster sauce

I wanted to make a good use of spring cabbage. The flavour of miso and oyster sauce mix is absolutely delicious.I used 2 large leaves of cabbage for this recipe.If your cabbage seems smaller in size, I would suggest you using a little more than that (3 to 4 leaves).The sauce is quite rich in flavour so you can be generous with the amount of vegetables you add to the pan. The finished dish will be as delicious if you swap japanese leek with onion. Recipe by Nanohana
