Homemade Pickled Cucumbers - Just Like "Kyuuri no Kyuuchan"
I received some of this from a neighbor and was amazed - it was just like Kyuuri no Kyuuchan! I didn't know you could make it at home! So, I asked my neighbor for the recipe.These are rather assertively flavored. If they are too strong for you, increase the cucumbers or reduce the flavoring ingredients. Recipe by yamita
Taiwanese-Style "Kyuchan" Cucumber Pickles
A long time ago, I bought a jar of pickled cucumbers in Taiwan and used them in many dishes, but since they are hard to find in Japan, I decided to make my own!After a lot of trial and error, I finally came up with this recipe!It tastes exactly like the real thing.-Remove the cucumbers from the sauce as soon as it comes to a boil. If they simmer too long, the texture will change, so be careful!-These will last for about a month, so I recommend making a large batch! For 1 jarful. Recipe by Mizorecchifan

Quick Pickled Cucumbers
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.

Pickled Cucumber - Asian Cucumber Salad
I'm sharing another pickled cucumber recipe, which is also easy and quick to make. As long as you have all the ingredients at home, you can prepare this dish in half an hour. You can serve this dish after marinating it for 30 minutes, but the longer you marinate it, the more flavorful it'll get. Make sure you keep the pickled cucumber in the refrigerator. And I recommend finishing it within 5 days. This pickled cucumber can be served as an appetizer or a side with any meaty or hearty dish. The refreshing and crunchy cucumber will cut right through the grease. Instruction video (https://youtu.be/TYnfn6JIJew)

Chinese-Style Spicy Marinated Cucumbers
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.

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

Flavored Chikuwa with Cucumber
My mother used to put this dish in my bento lunchbox when I was a kid.Since the chikuwa are already cooked, they are safe to put in a bento lunchbox as a side dish.When you have time, if you let the chikuwa cool in the pot, they absorb the flavour more and they will be even more delicious.Adjust the flavor of the chikuwa to preference.

Pickled Sakura and Japanese Turnips
Japanese long-rooted pickling turnips are in season around late fall to winter, and where I'm from, they are pickled in every household. It is said that the taste varies according to each household. Before I got married, my health-minded parents pickled them in large quantities, and sent me containers of them.Now I make a basic sakura pickle every year that I learned from my mother.For sakurazuke pickled only in salt, generally vinegar, ponzu sauce, or dashi is added for flavor; Since only a small amount of vinegar and dashi stock is added to this recipe for the pickling liquid, you can eat them without extra seasoning.
