This Japanese pickled cucumber recipe taught to me by my grandfather is a quick way to make delicious tsukemono packed with umami.

Ingredients

Instructions
- Cut the cucumbers using an oblique cut (see the video above for the technique).
- Add the cucumbers to a container with a lid along with the salt, sugar, beer, wasabi, and chili peppers. Stir or shake the mixture together until the salt and sugar have dissolved. If you are doing this in a container, make sure you open the lid a few times to release the pressure from the beer.
- Let the cucumbers soak in the brine overnight. These pickles are best consumed within a week.
Notes
- The nutrition information takes into the account the brine (which you won't eat) so the values presented for calories, sugar and sodium are much higher than what you will actually consume.
