Comment

This is a really simple and quick tsukemono, or Japanese-style pickle. The technique of salting then squeezing out moisture is common for Japanese quick pickling, and works with almost any vegetable. This recipe can be jazzed up with the addition of juliened carrots, lemon zest, blanched napa cabbage, and for the adventurous eater, minced octopus.
