Japanese-style sunomono, like pickled cucumbers, can be stored in the refrigerator about 1 to 2 weeks. Just make sure to keep it in an airtight container to maintain freshness. Enjoy your delicious pickled cucumbers.
Hi Sir, I know what the ingredients are except one.. is that a Japanese word cause I don’t understand what you made..? Salt, rice vinegar, sugar and what’s the other one .. pls?
Typically 2-3 weeks depending on how you store them. Make sure to keep the lid sealed and stored in a fridge but I usually end up eating all of it since its very easy to make.
I thot making pickles is very time consuming. Thanks for making this TH-cam. One question. Can I use your method to pickle other kinds of vegetables such as carrots, radish and red onions?
@@alldayieatlikeashark Yes, I made it with red carrots because I happen to have them. It is still crunchy when I ate it the next day. Love the taste of mentsuyu (from Kikkoman). I used it straight from the bottle without diluting. This sunomono has a good balance of flavours: sour, sweet and saltish. Thanks for sharing your recipe
Hi. There are a variety of alternatives to consider. Here are a few ideas. Soy sauce + Mirin + Dashi Granules Soy sauce + Mirin + Other Dashi Materials Soy sauce + Sugar + Sake + Dashi Granules Soy sauce + Sugar + Salt + Dashi Granules Hope it helps!
Is there a vegan substitute for mentsuyu? All I have found have bonito in them. I am not vegan, but I have difficulty with "fishy" taste. I have tried to get past it but haven't so far. This is my biggest challenge in eating a Japanese cuisine, is I cannot enjoy fish. I have never tasted dashi or bonito, but I fear it has an intense fish taste. Thank you for your very helpful videos.
Hi! Why don't you try kombu? It has a briny, mushroom-like flavor that isn't at all fishy. Soy sauce, mirin, sake, kombu, and katsuobushi contribute to the umami-rich flavors of Mentsuyu (dried bonito flakes). However, by substituting shiitake mushrooms and kombu dashi powder for the dried bonito flakes, this dish may simply be made vegan 😊
@@alldayieatlikeashark I'll look for the video with your recipe, thank you so much for replying...I really want to make the pickled cucumber as well...I have not tried many authentic dishes sadly...since I am strictly vegan it makes it tricky to find authentic Japanese vegan restaurants where I live...however Miso is absolutely basic but so delicious & I do it often at home 🥰😋
First time here, I was looking for various Asian pickled cucumber recipes. I was disappointed that (1) you don't list these NON English WORDS so that we can see exact spellings so that we can shop for them in Asian grocery stores. I always take photos of the Asian food ingredients and keep them in my phone so that I can better communicate with the grocery staff who is often times not born in North America. Also, when any person who is from a different language is trying their best to utter a foreign word to a native speaker of any language, the native speaker is accustomed to hearing their native words uttered a specific innuncitation or accent. So no matter how well practiced a foreign speaker tries to speak a different language, it is not always understood by the native speaker. SO HAVING THE WORD SPELLED OUT IS THE BEST WAY TO ENSURE THAT YOUR SHOPPING TRIP TO A FOREIGN SPECIALTY MARKET WILL BE SUCCESSUFUL + A PHOTO ALWAYS HELPS !!! (2) Viewers should not have to scroll thru SEVERAL products looking a several pages for a product they don't have a clue as to whether it comes in a can, bottle, dry powder mix or seasoning bottle just to find out WHAT you are saying all because you did not provide a WORD for them to search for ! The weblink you posted to Amazon, most of the products have Japanese labels AND are out of stock ! So if you had posted the actual JAPANESE WORDS either with scredn captions or in the description box, we could find these ingredients elsewhere. Seriously, you are a pharmacist, you know all too well that VERBAL communication is not reliable ! Someone in your profession knows the significance of DETAILS, SPECIFICS and WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION, DO MATTER ! What is the word you are using @1:02 ?
Hello Kitkat! Thank you for your suggestions and for sharing your difficulty in finding the ingredients. I share the same experience when I try to buy my items. Online shopping helps a lot for me and yes, you can also screenshot what I use, if that helps! Language however is a communication barrier across all cultures and even for people of the same nationalities, there are differences in pronouncing terms and spelling them out using letters. I hope shopping in specialty stores will be a learning experience rather than a burden. The term you are looking for at 1:02 is "mentsuyu". The ingredients for the pickled cucumber are listed in my blog with the brand I use. www.alldayieat.com/recipe/cucumber-sunomono-revisited/
@@alldayieatlikeashark , well shopping at any foreign market is not a burden for me because I figured out after several frustrated trips to always be armed with the exact foreign word or name of the item PLUS a photo. Even though someone comes from a specific country their native region may not use that ingredient and they may have never heard of it because their regional cuisine does not use it. So that is why specific foreign WORDS/NAMES + PHOTOS helps to get the shopping list DONE ! Besides, ordering online has issues with freshness or expiration dates and of course postage for each item vs one or two trips in person shopping. I live in Southern Calif, so there are major Japanese, Korean and Chinese markets here. Thank you for your prompt reply ! ⚘⚘⚘

How long can u store this in the refrigerator

What is the mensiu? Now sure on the spelling… but it’s the brown liquid thing
Mentsuyu or tsuyu is an all-purpose sauce in Japanese cooking (Soy Sauce)
This is to promote his vlog more than about providing the recipe.
😆
omg i love this, i hope you get more viewers 🥺
thank you Nam. are you on plant based diet?
I make it with just the salt and sugar. My grandma would put some tiny shrimp in it sometimes.
Sounds great too! :)
Hi Sir,
I know what the ingredients are except one.. is that a Japanese word cause I don’t understand what you made..? Salt, rice vinegar, sugar and what’s the other one .. pls?
I know you mentioned that you should finish it in the day you made it, but would it go bad if you kept it in your fridge for a while? Months maybe?
Typically 2-3 weeks depending on how you store them. Make sure to keep the lid sealed and stored in a fridge but I usually end up eating all of it since its very easy to make.
@@alldayieatlikeashark Oh perfect!!! I'm excited! Going to make some this weekend
Feel free to come back and let me know how it goes!
I thot making pickles is very time consuming. Thanks for making this TH-cam. One question. Can I use your method to pickle other kinds of vegetables such as carrots, radish and red onions?
Yes, absolutely. Have you tried this pickled cucumber yet?

If I don't have mentsuyu, what are some good substitutes?
Hi. There are a variety of alternatives to consider. Here are a few ideas. Soy sauce + Mirin + Dashi Granules
Soy sauce + Mirin + Other Dashi Materials
Soy sauce + Sugar + Sake + Dashi Granules
Soy sauce + Sugar + Salt + Dashi Granules
Hope it helps!

New follower here,I will try this
Thank you for subscribing ;) Have you tried any Japanese pickles before?
You spoke so fast. I had to put the cc on to figure out the 2nd liquid ingredient.
Thanks for the feedback!
How long will it last in the fridge?
Hi! Pickled cucumbers keep for 2 to 3 months in the refrigerator before turning bad.
@@alldayieatlikeashark thank you! Im making as soon as i can.
what is a menCU
Hi, it is mentsuyu, or tsuyu, its a japanese soup base, usually it's used in soba or udon noodles dishes, have you tried soba or udon before? 😊

Thanks for your support, glad to hear that! Miso is my favorite too, simple and delicious! 🤗
He should've explained it in the vid. 🙄
Do you mean tsukemono?
I also have another separate video for that :) but for this one it's a sunomono because the based is vinegar
🙂👍

Thank you for the feedback. I'll keep that in mind.
