Cup of Yum
Notes
- *1 Yuzu fruit vary in size. As a guide, we need about 1 tbsp of juice and you can use the peel though make sure to remove white pithy part as much as you can as it has an astringent taste.
- *2 If you can not source this ingredient, see the post above or "Japanese food substitute"
- *3 I use a dried birds eye chili called "Taka no tsume" in Japanese.
- *4 If you can not wait, you can start to eat after 2 hours of pickling, though it will be tastier if left overnight (8 hours) in fridge.
