This came to me when I was nibbling on a cucumber after taking a bath, because I didn't have any dessert on hand.Just chill it very well in the refrigerator!!Slice the cucumbers very thinly.Use whatever ponzu sauce you like, but I recommend one that has yuzu in it. It's really good.If you are using regular ponzu sauce, you may want to add a little sugar. For 2 servings. Recipe by Ponzu shokunin nao

I made this with things I already had in the refrigerator when I thought I needed one more item for dinner.Adjust the amount of vegetables you use to your liking. The vegetables are very hot just out of the microwave, so be careful. If you're having this as a hot salad, warm the bowl over hot water for a while, it will be even hotter and nicer. Please adjust the microwaving time according to your liking. For 2-3 servings. Recipe by John Lee Cooker

Our standard menu item when sweet onions are in season.We go light on seasoning in our home, so please adjust it to suit your taste. Recipe by suzu-ren

This is the recipe that is the basis for "Chicken Tender and Cucumber Shira-ae with Umeboshi Flavor". I didn't think it was worth posting as a separate recipe, but putting it in one recipe made it too long so I separated the recipe.I used honey marinated umeboshi that weigh about 15 g with the pits (the same ones I used forto make "Chicken Tender and Cucumber Shira-ae with Umeboshi Flavor"). Adjust the amount to your taste.This is delicious with the addition of julienned green shiso leaves mixed in or topped as a garnish. Recipe by Sabumochi

I added oyster sauce to add extra flavor to the taste of the mayonnaise... Everyone loves it!It's a good idea to add ham, chicken tenders or tuna. You can use boiled eggs to begin with here. Recipe by Akkorin mama

I wanted to use up some cucumber so I came up with this. I was getting bored with the usual way of eating cucumber, but I can eat lots of it in this.There are no hints because it's so easy. For 2 servings. Recipe by Manmarumauchan

I made this recipe because I got rather tired of normal chilled tofu. I love the combination of scallions, mayonnaise and ponzu.If you're watching your weight, use a low-cal mayonnaise. You could replace the ponzu for the mentsuyu. Recipe by Piyokonoshokutaku

I'm always experimenting with new ways to enjoy lots of spinach which I get from my grandmother's vegetable garden.Here's the cucumber version (Recipe ID : 2169958).After washing the spinach, place into a plastic bag and tie the bag lightly, then steam in the microwave.The cooking time is about 3 minutes at 500 W.If you need to cook some more, add 10 seconds at a time.

My kids won't eat dried sweet potato, so I always end up with a bunch left over when we get them as gifts. I wanted to try to find a way of cooking them into meals to use them up. With this recipe, even my kids will happily chomp them down.You don't have to toast the dried sweet potatoes if you don't want to, but they will be hard, so be careful when cutting them. Other than mizuna, you can also use green peppers, green beans, or julienned cucumbers. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei

I made this when I was out of dressing. It was really good, so I've been relying on it ever since.This is also good with mizuna greens or green bell peppers instead of cucumber.If you leave it standing for too long the tofu will start to exude moisture, so I recommend making it just before you plan to eat it. For 2 servings. Recipe by naganyo

I used to use ready-made Shiso dressing, but because my husband dislikes the flavour, I started using a mixture of ponzu sauce and vinegar.This recipe uses two medium sized sweet tomato.Gently pat dry the cut tomatoes with kitchen paper towel so the dish doesn't become soggy. Recipe by Snow*Love
