• 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

  • I make a very similar thing but with black vinegar rather than mirin and with some gochugaru flakes, roasted sesame seeds and some chili oil. Very tasty, goes great with stir fries etc to add some flavour without adding too many calories.
