Classic Japanese Pickled Cucumber Recipe ( きゅうりの浅漬け)

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Japanese Pickled Cucumber is so easy to make! In Japan, this is a very common side dish! I bet you can’t stop eating after you know how to make these tasty Japanese style pickles!

 

Japanese Pickled Cucumber is so simple to make! In Japan, we call it “Kyuri-no-asa-zuke” and this is one of ‘Tsukemono’. They have a very fresh and light flavor which makes them a great snack or side dish for any meal. My grandmother used to make these and they were always the first thing finished at our family dinner table.

Tsukemono  – The way you marinade variety of food into salt, vinegar, or sake less.

 

Easy and simple Japanese Cucumber Pickles ingredients

Japanese Pickled Cucumbers are so simple to make. You just need 5 ingredients besides cucumbers!

Ingredients for Pickled Cucumber

  1. salt
  2. mirin
  3. dashi
  4. soy sauce
  5. sesame oil

These ingredients are often used for Japanese cooking so if you don’t have some, they are definitely worth buying! Good news, all of these ingredients are available on Amazon or you can easily find them at any Asian grocery stores in the states.

 

What kind of cucumber do I have to use for Pickles

I recommend using Japanese Cucumber if you have access to an Asian grocery store. They are sweeter than regular cucumbers and don’t have as many seeds.

If you can’t find Japanese Cucumbers, then I recommend Persian. They are a little pricey compared to other types but they’re never bitter and are great for Japanese Pickled Cucumbers! Persian cucumbers are usually sold in packs.

Wanna try something new😌? When people hear Kit Wanna try something new😌?

When people hear Kitsune don, it sounds weird because if you translate Kitsune, it simply means fox. But wait! Kitsune came from the look of the meal. 

There are some theories for why it is called ‘Kitsune’. One is Aburaage, deep-fried tofu pouch, is one of the fox’s favorite foods in folktales. The other is that Aburaage looks similar to a fox.

This meal is quite easy to make and tasty :) If you want to try a new recipe, this is a good one🤩

Today, I want to share my go-to bento meal, dry curry!
Dry curry is a café food that is originally from Japan. This is great for lunch, dinner, and bento boxes!

Curry is a beloved food in Japan and there are tons of curry recipes created in Japan. Keema Curry is a popular Indian dish in Japan that uses minced meat, but there is a ‘DEY CURRY’ that is similar to Keema curry. Dry curry is one of the popular curry varieties that Japanese people love!

This is my last post for THE YEAR and I want to say thank you so much for following and supporting me! My goal for next year is to share more recipes and connect with all of you more ☺️💕 Have a great end of the year!

As a last post, I really want to introduce Chinjao Rosu. One of the king meals that Japanese people love so much! 

Chinjao Rosu is a popular Chinese food as well as Mapo Tofu in Japan. Made from beef(or pork), green pepper and bamboo shoot then stir fried. This is loved by so many generations in Japan, so there are some instant Chinjao Rosu options that you can buy at any grocery store in Japan and make it in just 15-20 minutes! But it is also easy to make all by yourself 🥺🔥
