お漬物 (Otsukemono) -soy sauce based version-

Living abroad, I miss Japanese food so much!
Fortunately, I can find some ingredients for Japanese food where I live.
So, I cooked easy but traditional Otsukemono today.

If there is Kimuchi for Korean, Otsukemono is for Japanese!
You eat Otsukemono with rice. It's a good side dish:)

Cucumber in Philippines is too big compared to Japan.
I prefer cucumber in Japan.





Ingredients for 4 people:
2 pieces of cucumber
(If it's not like Japanese cucumber, but big one, 1/2 of cucumber)
2 big spoon of soy sauce
1 big spoon of Mirin
1/2 piece of garlic


1. Grate the garlic. Cut cucumber into one-bite size
2. In a bag, put all the ingredients and put it in a fridge
3. Wait half day and it's done.
