Japanese Smashed Cucumber With Umeboshi Recipe by Yuki Ohtani
Cooking Instructions Prep 5 min 1 Lightly smash the cucumbers with a rolling pin or the side of a knife, then break or cut them into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and let sit for about 10 minutes to draw out moisture. 2 Pat the cucumbers dry with a paper towel to remove the released water. 3 Remove the pits from the umeboshi and finely chop or mash the flesh into a paste using a knife. 4 In a bowl or jar, mix the smashed cucumbers, mashed umeboshi, ★(sesame oil, sugar, soy sauce, and dashi). Stir well to coat evenly. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 10 minutes. The flavor deepens and improves if left overnight. 1 Lightly smash the cucumbers with a rolling pin or the side of a knife, then break or cut them into bite-sized pieces.
