Everyone in my family loved this dish!Although using a plastic bag would pickle more evenly, I make and serve it in a Tupperware. The longer the pickling, the better the flavor.When pickling for a long time, it's good to add ichimi chili pepper powder before serving. Recipe by Team yokin

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.

Mom said you can have this cucumber if you want to make cucumbers and onions. What do you think ? Was this a HINT ! ?

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.
