They are tiny, crunchy, juicy, with much less seeds. Chilled they are perfect for the summer. Slightly pickled or not we love them and eat some every day in the hottest season. They are good just cut and dipped in miso for a very rapid snack, or prepared in light pickling with salt or with umezu \u6885\u9162. You can find many of my recipes including cucumber <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/index.php\/tag\/cucumber\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. But today I came up with a new idea, of a simple cucumber salad, with Japanese flavors. And it is so simple that t is going to be a new summer favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Summer cucumber salad<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>1 Japanese cucumber <\/li><li>2 myoga (Japanese ginger)<\/li><li>1tsp of umezu (otherwise a pinch of salt and 5 drops of soya sauce)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Wash and pat dry the cucumber. Slice it thinly. Put in a bowl add the umezu and stir with the hand. Wait 5 minutes, in the meantime, wash and chop thinly the myoga. Gently press the cucumber with the hand and remove the juice. Add the myoga and stir. Serve chilled and enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/6dc694ce-e39c-472c-b3e9-686029668dd6-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5470\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/6dc694ce-e39c-472c-b3e9-686029668dd6-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/6dc694ce-e39c-472c-b3e9-686029668dd6-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/6dc694ce-e39c-472c-b3e9-686029668dd6-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/6dc694ce-e39c-472c-b3e9-686029668dd6-768x768.jpg 768w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/6dc694ce-e39c-472c-b3e9-686029668dd6-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/6dc694ce-e39c-472c-b3e9-686029668dd6-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/6dc694ce-e39c-472c-b3e9-686029668dd6-500x500.jpg 500w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/6dc694ce-e39c-472c-b3e9-686029668dd6-1400x1400.jpg 1400w, http:\/\/gentianeetantoine.com\/igk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/6dc694ce-e39c-472c-b3e9-686029668dd6-600x600.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Ready to eat!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you like cucumbers you surely like even better Japanese cucumbers.
