cucumber side dish

There are many different ingredients you can make pickle out of and here are a few very traditional and authentic ingredients : cucumbers, garlic, garlic scape(stems), onions, green chili peppers and radishes.&nbsp;

Korean Pickles (Jangajji)

Korean cucumbers ((오이 Oyi) (Persian or Pickle cucumbers also OK))

green chili peppers ((optional))

C soy sauce ((approx.))

C sugar ((approx.))

C rice vinegar ((approx.))

rough sea salt

Mix soy sauce, vinegar and sugar in a pot and let it come to a boil. When it boils, turn the heat off and let it sit.

In the mean time, grab a generous pinch of sea salt and clean the cucumbers by rubbing each one with salt.

Rinse cucumbers with water and pat them dry. You can then cut the cucumbers into bite size pieces or keep them whole.

Wash green chili peppers. Whole peppers can be used or can be cut into pieces. When using whole peppers, make a hole in the pepper by piercing it with a sharp skewer or toothpick. If you cannot find Korean chili peppers, you can also use Jalapeno peppers or other peppers. A good substitute for a Korean chili pepper is the Anaheim green chili pepper.

Put both cucumbers and chili peppers into the jar. Pour soy sauce mixture onto the vegetables. The sauce should be quite hot – the hot temperature of the sauce shocks the vegetables and makes them crunchy so make sure it’s nice and hot!

Find something to weigh the vegetables down and you are almost done!

Let it sit for 3 days in room temperature and then drain the liquid out, boil it and then add it back to the jar while it is still hot. Leave it for 4 more days.

Easy Creamy Cucumber Salad

English cucumber Persian cucumbers (about 11 oz)

green onion (thinly sliced)

salt (see notes)

Kewpie mayo

sesame oil

sesame seeds

rice vinegar

Sriracha chili sauce (optional)

Prep the cucumbers

Slice cucumbers into thin discs. I use a mandolin slicer on the #3 setting for even slices.

Salt the cucumbers

Add salt and toss well to coat. Let them sit for about 20 minutes to draw out excess water. Pour out the liquid that collects at the bottom of the bowl. Then, gently squeeze the cucumbers by the handful to remove any remaining moisture. Do not rinse.

Make the dressing

Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl with the cucumbers. Toss everything together until well coated. Taste and adjust as needed. Serve and enjoy.

Lightly tossed in a flavorful soy sauce dressing, this refreshing cucumber salad takes only five minutes to prepare. Enjoy its crisp freshness as a healthy and tasty side dish or an appetizer on its own.
