• A thing I’ve been making a lot in the last 6m is a sort of pickled cucumber.

    Slice lots of cuckes up thin or thick (whatever your jam)
    Add salt to draw out moisture
    Pour out water and pat dry with kitchen towel
    I usually season mine with 1tbsp soybean paste, (1tsp)sesame oil, gochujang paste, mirin and some vinegar, minced garlic clove. Can also add some pickled ginger, sliced spring onion.

    I would probably slice 4 cucumbers at a time and it will last me a week. Somewhere in the region of 250-300 cals. And can always slice up another cucumber and add it in. It’s also pretty cheap once you have the ingredients in.

    As seen here for last nights dinner

  • A little tip, scoop out the soft seed bit as it keeps a little longer, stays a little crunchier and resists getting unpleasantly slimy.
