A delicious side dish that combines crisp cucumbers with fragrant mugwort, enhancing the flavor of meat dishes without the hassle of boiling soy sauce.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Washing cucumbers and mugwort in lukewarm water helps remove impurities more easily and preserves their crisp texture.
  • Thanks to vinegar’s natural antibacterial properties, the brine can be used without boiling—even with added fresh water—making it safe and clean for storage.
  • The brine may seem insufficient right after assembly, but over time, moisture will seep out from the cucumbers and fully saturate them—no need to worry.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to quickly pickle vegetables without the hassle of boiling soy sauce.
  • People looking for a crisp, refreshing vegetable side dish to balance the richness of grilled meats like pork belly.
