Kim Dae-seok's Cucumber Pickle

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Pouring the hot water from blanched carrots over the cucumbers coats the surface, preventing softening and preserving crispness until the last bite.
• Blanch carrots in boiling water for just 20 seconds to keep their crisp texture.
• Using cooked rice and dried chili peppers instead of glutinous rice flour in the seasoning creates a cooler, cleaner, and more refreshing umami flavor.
• After pickling, briefly rinse the cucumbers in cold water for about 1 minute to remove excess surface salt, resulting in perfectly balanced seasoning without being overly salty.
