Pickled Cucumber

Recipe for Pickled Cucumber



Ingredients:

• 1 Japanese Cucumber, washed, scrubbed to remove pointy parts


• 1 tablespoon, lightly Fried or Roasted Garlic

Marinade:

• 1 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce


• 1 tablespoon Apple Cider


• 1/3 tablespoon Sugar


• 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil


• a dash of Worcestershire Sauce (optional)

How to do it:

1. Cut cucumber into 2cm thick or into 4 parts then halved, lenghwise, whichever you prefer.


2. Put all cut cucumber into a ziploc bag or a container.


3. Add roasted garlic and marinade to the cucumber.


4. Squeeze out excess air from ziploc bag, if using.


5. Refrigerate it for about 4 hours or till ready to serve.


6. Turn the bag around or give the cucumber slices a stir occasionally to make sure all the pieces get well marinated.


7. Place pickled cucumber in a dish and served with some of the marinade.

Note:

• You can add some Japanese La Yu or Chilli if you want it to be spicy.


• Fried or Roasted Garlic adds fragrance but will not overpower the pickled cucumber with a strong garlic smell.  You can use raw garlic if you like though.
