Cucumber Tsukemono

Japanese salt pickled cucumbers

Ingredients

  • 1 Large Cucumber
  • Salt 1tbs
  • Dried chilli pepper 1
  • Dashi stock 1tsp

Method

  1. Chop the cucumber into bite sized pieces. I prefer roughly chopped chunky pieces, The cucumber will hold more flavour.
  2. Put the cucumber into a small ’sandwich’ bag and mix well with the ingredients.
  3. Tightly seal the bag, removing all air and leave in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
  4. Finished! you may now take the Tsukemono out of the bag and put into a more appropriate container.
  5. The cucumber will continue to pickle, so keep removing the excess water, the Tsukemono will stay crisp for longer.
