Following on from my recipe for making cucumber tsukemono, I’d like to introduce you to tsukemono seasoning mixtures, which can be purchased from most Japanese grocery stores, or chinese / korean markets if you are lucky. These mixtures are perfect cupboard fillers ready to use when your in a hurry. They are available in a number of different flavours and cost very little.

I really recommemd trying Tsukemono for those who haven’t as yet, especially cucumber tsukemono. Its a great alternative to salad.
