Cucumber Namasu
If you like pickles you’ll love this fresh and crunchy Japanese inspired pickle. Preparation takes a little time as you need to allow the cucumbers to “sweat” out as much liquid as possible, but it’s worth it once you get to taste the final product. Cucumber Namasu (Japanese Cucumber Pickles) 2 - 3 small English Cucumbers (Koi Cucumber) or pickling cucumber
2 tablespoons Hawaiian or Kosher Salt
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon crushed, finely minced fresh ginger root
1 small round sweet onion (maui onion or vidalia onion)
dash salt and peper (optional)
dash hot sauce (optional) Cut cucumbers into 1/4 inch slices. If you cannot find the types of cucumbers the recipe calls for, you can substitute regular cucumbers but remove the seeds if they are too large. In a large plastic bowl, place sliced cucumbers; sprinkle 1 3/4 tablespoons salt. Mix well, making sure that cucumber slices are coated with salt. Place a plate on top of the cucumber slices and weight it down with a large bowl filled with water. Let stand for about 20 - 30 minutes. Squeeze out the excess water from the cucumber slices and transfer squeezed cucumbers into another bowl. Rinse cucumbers in water, remove excess water again. Repeat this step until just a hint of salt is tasted when you taste a sample of a cucumber slice. Once you’ve gotten to the point where all of the cucumber has been removed of almost all of the salt taste, place squeezed cucumber slices back into a large bowl. Thinly slice the sweet onions, add onions to cucumbers. Combine sugar, vinegar, remaining salt and ginger. Pour over cucumbers. Mix well. Chill overnight in refrigerator before serving. I serve this with my Teriyaki Chicken and is a perfect condiment for any type of barbecue meat.
