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
