Ingredients
  

For the Sweet Vinegar Pickling
  • 1 cup rice vinegar gives the pickles that signature tangy flavor
  • 1 cup sugar balances out the vinegar for that perfect sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon salt enhances the flavors of your vegetables
  • 2 cups assorted vegetables thinly sliced (cucumbers, carrots, or daikon radish)

Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan
  • Clean Jar or Container

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a medium saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve completely. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
  2. Step 2: While the vinegar mixture is cooling, place the sliced vegetables in a clean jar or container. Feel free to mix and match the veggies to suit your taste!
  3. Step 3: Once the vinegar mixture has cooled, pour it over the vegetables, ensuring they are fully submerged.
  4. Step 4: Seal the jar or container and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to develop.
  5. Step 5: After 24 hours, enjoy the Amazuzuke as a refreshing side dish or condiment.

Notes

Store your Amazuzuke in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, keeping them submerged in vinegar for the best flavor!
