Whether you have your own vegetable garden and want new ways to preserve your bounty into the winter, or are just looking for healthy and tasty additions to your everyday meals, these home-made Japanese superfood recipes are a great addition to your repertoire.
A chapter on regional pickling styles and recipes lets home cooks learn more about the traditional art of tsukemono in Japan - from Tokyo to rural farm villages - while a section on pickling seasonal vegetables helps you make the most of your garden-fresh produce.
'Pickledvegetables were my favourite component of most meals we ate in Tokyo. Japanese Pickled Vegetables byMachiko Tateno has a clean layout and glossy photos that sing 'You can do this.' I longed for the bright zinging taste of vividcarrot chunks, startling daikon slices, sweet-and-sour green cucumber ribbons,but muttered 'too many hard-to-get ingredients - kombu seaweed?' Later, while staring down another bowl of pandemic ramen, I took the plunge.Raiding the pantry and fridge, I was able to make fresh cucumber pickles, quickcarrot, radish, napa cabbage pickles andkimchi.' - Shelf Awareness
