That side dish that comes to mind only when summer comes

Does everyone have one? ☀️

Just imagining it makes my mouth water.

When I was little, I wondered why my mom liked pickled cucumbers so much.

I didn't really realize it, but perhaps because I'm getting older...

I get really into making pickled cucumbers every summer. Haha.

Really simple, yet responsible for the summer meal

I'm telling you, there's no side dish as good as this!

Made every year using the golden ratio featured on Altoran

Pickled cucumbers~~ without adding a single drop of water,

It's really convenient with no need to boil it, but the taste is amazing.

The secret to making waterless pickled cucumbers!

Because it is pickled with the cucumber's own moisture

It has a much firmer and crispier texture.

Above all, what can happen from boiling water

There is almost no worry about mold (white film) either.

Even beginners have a near-zero chance of failure!

I will share it now.

1. Washing and preparing cucumbers

Please wash the cucumbers thoroughly under running water.

(It is good to use baking soda)

Be careful not to get hurt!

After washing, dry thoroughly with a kitchen towel.

The key is removing it.

If moisture remains, it can become soft or mold may form.

2. Make the magic seasoning sauce in advance

This is the key point! 10 cups of corn syrup in a large bowl,

Add 2.5 cups of sea salt, 4 cups of vinegar, and 2 cups of soju all at once.

Please stir thoroughly so that the salt dissolves completely.

3. Pour the seasoning mixture over the cucumbers and press them down.

Please pack the drained cucumbers neatly into the kimchi container.

Use the magical seasoning sauce prepared on top without leaving a trace

Pour it in generously. Since the cucumbers may float at this stage,

You need to press it down gently with a heavy plate or a weight.

Every time I make this delicious pickled cucumber, me

most The one that bothered me Do you know what crab is?

It was to press down on the cucumber so it wouldn't float! 😩

Until last year, I used to put heavy water bottles on top,

Find a clean stone, place it on a plate, and…

It was really a hassle, and I was a little worried about hygiene as well.

But! I went to Daiso a while ago and found a great item

I found it!

as soon as Pickled cucumber press!

I added it to my cart as soon as I saw it.

This year's waterless pickled cucumbers are thanks to this new technology

Really super simple and convenient,

And it was a perfect success.

Even the Daiso press I bought, considering the price...

It's a really great value item.

I searched on Coupang to see if there were any other products.

Wow… a slightly sturdier material, or 100 at a time

Even a large-capacity press for those who are soaking.

There was a really wide variety.

4. Close the lid and let it ripen!

Now, close the lid tightly and place it at a cool room temperature (such as a veranda).

Please keep this.

3~4 days later: A huge amount of moisture comes out of the cucumber

It will get soaked.

At this point, shake the container up and down or turn it upside down once.

Please mix the seasoning evenly.

One week later: The cucumbers are all wrinkled~ Delicious

It's done when it turns yellow!

From this point on, you can put it in a kimchi refrigerator and eat it all year round.
