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

  3. 1/2 tspSalt (or 2 teaspoons of shio-koji)

  5. 1Ichimi chili pepper powder
  6. 1Storing container (big enough to fit the cucumbers)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice cucumber and put in container. A teaspoon of sugar also gives it a nice touch.

  2. 2

    Add seasonings. Cover with lid and shake. Turn over pieces from time to time. If using a bag, rub the cucumbers.

  3. 3

    Chill in the refrigerator. Wait for at least an hour. You could make this in the morning to have for dinner.

  4. 4

    I also tried this with turnips. They took longer to pickle than cucumbers. I'll create a different recipe for the turnips another time.
