How to make pickled cucumbers without water: Altoran pickled cucumber recipe

Hello, this is Our Day :).

There is still a cool breeze in the mornings and evenings

It seems like they are extending early summer a bit longer.

I also feel a sense of inexplicable excitement.

The sweltering heat will be here soon, won't it? :0

To prepare for a summer with no appetite

Body and mind

And the side dishes too, haha.

It's good to be prepared.

Last time Making pickled cucumbers without water

I tried making a small batch.

It turned out so delicious

With that confidence, I'm taking on the challenge of 20 this time!

I think I'll be able to keep and eat this all summer long.

For a taste that can be exhausting in the middle of summer

Sweet and sour pickled cucumbers

It goes well with any food, and

Even if it isn't a special dish

If you add it, your lost appetite will return

You can make them come back lol

I'm going to try making Altoran-style pickled cucumbers.

The cucumber has a fresh stem and

Appropriate size and thickness, even to the eye

And it is good if the shape is consistent.

The unique green color is deep and

I prefer something soft.

About 5cm down from the stem

The one with a deep blue tint

It's a good cucumber!

When you touch it with your hand

A firm feeling is fresh, and

The surface is free of defects,

It is best to choose one with a fresh stem that is not dry.

Do the cucumbers I chose look good? :)

If you have chosen a good cucumber,

Now, let's get started on making it.

When making pickled cucumbers without water

If you use it as pickled cucumber

There are fewer seeds, so the texture is better later on.

Of course, even if that isn't necessarily the case

It's crunchy and delicious, so don't worry.

However, if you are doing a large quantity of more than 20

Please prepare this for making pickled cucumbers.

First, in order to clean it

Wash it by gently scrubbing it with baking soda.

If you scrub hard with salt

The surface may be damaged.

Soak it in water and gently wipe only the thorny parts.

If the surface is damaged, mold will form later

It can happen.

After rinsing thoroughly, wipe with a kitchen towel

Wipe off the moisture thoroughly.

How to make Altoran pickled cucumbers

Making pickled cucumbers without water

It is also famous for its pickled cucumbers made with syrup.

The traditional method involves boiling saltwater.

It might be a bit of a hassle, but

You can make the Altoran recipe simply.

Since it's done without boiling

Remove all the moisture from the pickled cucumbers

It is best to wipe it clean and soak it.

Is it because I finished my bath?

It looks even greener and fresher.

I removed the stem.

At first, I was going to divide it into four Ziploc bags to soak it, but

I decided to put everything in a large kimchi container and make it.

This time, to add a spicy kick

I also tried making it with Cheongyang peppers.

Wash thoroughly and remove all moisture.

I packed the cucumbers neatly into the kimchi container.

1.5 cups of vinegar,

Pour in 1 cup of sea salt.

Please pour in one cup of soju as well.

Pour in 4 cups of corn syrup as well.

If you just pour them one by one

With the Altoran recipe

The pickling of cucumbers is almost done.

I pickled 20 cucumbers for the first time,

It's been a while since I used ingredients in bulk, haha.

I used up every last bit of the vinegar and corn syrup I had at home... haha

You might be worried because the proportion of corn syrup is high.

Corn syrup plays a role in extracting moisture from cucumbers, and

It won't be too sweet, so don't worry.

There is no water right now, but

It causes osmotic pressure

After just one day, quite a bit of water comes out.

Close the lid and leave it indoors.

Please turn it over about 3 to 4 times a day.

It's only the second day, but the color is already turning yellow.

The green color of the cucumber has almost disappeared,

It's full of moisture~

By the fourth day, it was already deliciously ripe.

The cucumber has shrunk significantly in volume,

The surface has turned nicely wrinkled~

Like a palm after coming back from the bathhouse haha

Altoran pickled cucumbers usually appear after 3 to 4 days.

You can eat it right away.

I took one out and made seasoned pickled cucumbers...

Crunchy, tangy, and crisp

It's a real rice thief.

With the easiest waterless pickling method

Have a sweet and healthy summer!
