My Grandmother's Salt Rubbed Cucumber
My grandmother and mother used to prepare this whenever they had a bountiful harvest of cucumbers in their garden and had to use them up. Now I do as well.
Wring out the cucumber very well.
If you're using small cucumbers, you don't need to peel or deseed them. Recipe by umemodoki

That Sauce! Chinese-style Salt Cured Cucumbers That Sauce! Chinese-style Salt Cured Cucumbers
I wanted to make an easy-prep, salt-cured cucumber that even children would like. When I used the recipe with the seasoning from shirasu sauce, it turned out delicious. It's now one of my daughter's favorites. For those who like spice, add red chili peppers when curing.Thoroughly dissolve the sugar. Curing for 2 hours gives a perfect crunchiness and the cucumbers become well cured. If longer, the seasoning will blend in, but the crunchiness will disappear.If you peel the cucumbers a little, they will cure more evenly. Recipe by Tsukonindesumasu -
