Tsukémono (cucumber, eggplant, ginger)
$10.00
Japanese tsukémono encompass a wide range of foods that undergo transformations in flavor, texture, and appearance. “Agents of Change” — both ingredients (such as salt, vinegar, soy sauce and kōji) and techniques (gentle massage-like pressure, weighted pressure, and submersion in brine or paste) are what enable the transformation.
This LESSON featuring cucumbers, eggplants and ginger tsukémono includes several quick-pickle projects assembled and ready to eat the same day as well as some longer projects that require weeks to reach maturity but provide prolonged eating pleasure.
