Easy & Instant 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

I wanted to make some easy pickles from a cucumber that I could put on hamburgers. Since you can make it with a microwave and it takes only a little bit of seasoning, take note of this recipe.Please be careful, since it can boil over! Please mix well and heat in the microwave until the cucumber's color changes to how it looks in the picture. Please apply the wrap tightly like a lid, to seal out as much air as possible over the cucumber. Recipe by Macchii shokudou

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.

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

Latest picking adventure, came out great!

Commercially made pickles are too sweet or just not to my taste, so I decided to make my own.Crack the peppercorns roughly. Add some ground black pepper too if you have it.Add the red chili peppers to taste. The pickles are still delicious without them. Recipe by Rarumu

The cucumber dish served at a certain chain restaurant was delicious, so I tried to recreate it at home.Adjust the amount of salt to taste. It should be on the salty side if serving as pickles, and less salty if serving as a drinking appetizer. Be sure to taste and adjust the seasoning. The kombu tea is optional, but I highly suggest it. For 2 servings. Recipe by smooth

I added vinegar to my usual recipe for mustard-pickled cucumber, and added some ginger too.If you shake the bag several times while it's resting in the refrigerator, the pickles will become even tastier. Recipe by Raby

When I tried putting the leek-miso I made for samgyeopsal on cucumbers it was delicious, so I adapted it to make it into a proper recipe.If you don't like spicy food, adjust the spiciness by varying the amount of gochujang and miso used.You can use plain salt instead of shio-koji (salt-fermented rice malt).

This was so refreshing and delicious! Cutting it in spirals takes some time but the result is worth it! I would definitely make a double portion next time :)

When you don’t know what to do with celery sitting in the fridge, this is a great way to consume quickly. This is a slight modified recipe from Japanese Cookpad. Easy and tastes great!

My hubby loves cucumber pickles. I thought of using other vegetables that would taste similar to cucumbers but yet has a higher nutrient content. Inspired by one of the recipes posted on @cook_1823220 (Cookpad.japan)
