Kyuuri No Sunomono

 

Kyuuri No Sunomono

Kyuuri (Cucumber)

Shoga (Ginger)

Komesu (Rice Vinegar)

Shoyu (Soy Sauce)

Togarashi (Japanese Spice Blend)

Ninniku (Garlic)

Here is a recipe I learned several years ago. At the time I was taking Japanese lessons and my tutor assigned me a recipe to translate and make. These pickled cucumbers are so tasty and refreshing! In a bowl mix equal parts soy sauce and vinegar. Add remaining spices and then pour over chopped cucumber and let marinate for at least an hour. The longer the better! I was not given measurements for the recipe because as with any good cook, my tutor told me she usually just guesses. :)
