Do you know that there are many different kinds of pickles in Japan?
In a typical Japanese dinner, the basics consist of rice, miso soup, and pickles. Additionally, there is usually a main dish, which can be fish or meat, served alongside these staples.
Now they even sell a seasoning bag to make a quick pickle. I try to avoid artificial flavoring as much as possible, so I made a very quick and super easy pickle using cabbage, cucumber, and carrot. It takes only a few minutes. When you see the video I made, you might be surprised, ‘What? That’s it?’ You cut the vegetables, put them in a bag with seasonings, and mix them. Then it’s done! Yes, that’s it. In ONLY 3 minutes, you can have an amazing pickle. My kid loves it and he keeps eating it like he’s eating chips.
You can eat it right away, or you can store it in the refrigerator. It lasts for a week in the refrigerator.
You might have noticed that I used mushroom powder, which I often use for my recipes. It’s really useful and flavorful. I highly recommend having it because you can use it for miso soup, fried rice, pickles, noodles, and more.
If you don’t have mushroom powder, you can substitute it with salt. Also, when you eat the pickle, you can drizzle a little soy sauce – that tastes good as well.
Let’s get started!”
Here are some recipes where I use mushroom powder.
Ingredients:
- 280g Cabbage
- 1 Carrot
- 1 Cucumber
- 3 tsp Mushroom Seasoning
- 2 tsp Vinegar
- 2 tsp Sesame Oil
- pinch of Sesame Seeds
This is one of my favorite seasonings. I use it in various dishes, such as Japanese tamagoyaki, miso soup, fried rice, chicken, soup, salad! Once you purchase it, it tends to last quite a while. You can either buy it from the provided link or find it at your local Asian grocery store.
Instructions:
- Place the sliced cucumbers, carrots, and cabbage in a Ziplock bag. Add all the seasonings and mix. (If you don’t have a Ziplock bag, it’s okay to mix them in a bowl.)
- Seal the Ziplock bag and refrigerate. You can enjoy it right away. If you used a bowl, transfer the mixture to a container like Tupperware for storage. It can be stored in the refrigerator for about a week.”
