One of my weekend wishes for last week is to try making the pickled cucumber after seeing the recipe at Angelolli.com. I love pickles though I can’t eat them too often 🙂 Went out to buy the ingredients and I made the pickled on Sunday 🙂 It is one of Harumi Kurihara’s recipes. Harumi Kurihara is a Japanese celebrity chef and is famous for her no-fuss and simple dishes.  Here are the ingredients :- soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, salt, cucumber and sesame oil. I used Japanese cucumbers.
Mix 100ml each of soy sauce and rice vinegar with 4 tablespoons of sugar and sesame oil to taste. This is for the pickling sauce. Cut the cucumber lengthwise and remove the seeds. Don’t peel the skin. Then cut into bit-sized pieces. Julienne cut the ginger.
Put everything together in a Ziploc bag and keep in the fridge for 2 hours before serving.
They are cucumberlicious! Hubs like it too. Goes well with Garlic rice or Bbq. Arrrrggghhhhh….no more bbq, no more bbq. Do give this recipe a try if you like pickled cucumbers. I will be on a lookout for Harumi Kurihara cookbook now 🙂
I’ll make this tonight 😉
hey, I love pickles.. but my mum does it for me.. she adds in some chillies too.. spicy and sour! gosh..now swallowing saliva.. gross! hahahaa..
I love it!! But my mum told me not to consume so much food like this, kinda acidic to the tummy?
salivating now …:)
Look delicious, will give it a try too. Maybe can replace cucumber with half raw papaya and see how it turn out?
I love to have pickles with rice 🙂 I can have 2 big bowls of rice, muahahahaha! The recipe you shared looks simple enough to try it out in my kitchen. Thanks!
Sounds easy enough. Hope I’m not too lazy to give it a try one day! 😀
Wow, looks cucumberlicious to me too..Must be crunchy. I love it!
I love pickles very much but never try this recipe before. Pickles are very appetizing and delicious, easy to prepare too!
Add soya sauce? Mine is another version of pickles.
Marinate the cucumber with salt and sugar, keep in fridge, drain the water and add white vinegar and sesame oil and garlic into it. Nice and yummy.
Maybe should try out your recipe one day.
Can you see my saliva is drooling, I love pickles, YUM!!!!!
Looks very refreshing and appetizing! I like this kind of pickles too. What did you do with the remaining pickling sauce? If throw away like very sayang…
I love pickles especially those mango ones. Your version looks so mouth watering. I think I would add some cilipadi too..haha.
I always love japanese cucumber. Now I saw your pickles, I am drooling.
Rather similar to what my SIL ordered at Din Tai Fung last week – costs Rm8 for an appetizer sized plate!!
Awesome! I like pickles, definitely will try to make it. Thanks for sharing, Barb.
i make my cucumber pickles by marinate them with salt. wash off after an hour and add some sugar and cili padi. Now i wanna try using your method!
