Making Japanese cucumber pickles



Photo and Recipe by Alessandra Zecchini ©




Just cucumber and unrefined Japanese salt, put a weight on it (like a stone) 
and wait a day or so. Squeeze and serve.

    Oooo, I will have to try this as I'm a big fan of cucumber! Is the japanese refined salt something that can be found in supermarkets or speciality asian stores?

      I got mine in Japan (it was a present) but I am sure that any good unrefined salt would do!

    The container is Japanese, the spoon came with some other salt (Welsh). I love that spoon too!
