Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Avoid rubbing cucumbers with coarse salt as it may cause damage and softening; just brush off dust or rinse gently.
  • Any remaining moisture can lead to mold growth, so ensure cucumbers are completely dry after washing.
  • Pouring boiling saltwater in one spot may overcook certain cucumbers—distribute it evenly across all cucumbers.
  • Press firmly with a weight to extract moisture effectively, resulting in a crispier texture.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a crisp, salty side dish to boost appetite in summer.
  • People who want to make traditional oi-jji without mold and lasting freshness.
  • Those wanting a clean-tasting, fail-proof oi-jji using minimal ingredients.
