病みつききゅうり（yamitsuki kyuri)
What kind of dish is Yamitsuki kyuri??
Cucumbers marinated in soy sauce that you will want to eat a lot.
It’s a standard snack for evening drinks. Crispy and juicy cucumbers go well with cold beer. A cucumber with a spicy flavor. It has a light taste, but it is addictive. In Japanese, “病みつき yamitsuki” means “addictive”.
No knife or cutting board required. It might be too easy to call it a dish. But I’m sure you’ll be satisfied with the result!
Dark soy sauce alone will turn the color black, so I mix half light soy sauce and half dark soy sauce.
If chili oil is not available, soak a generous amount of chilies in sesame oil for several hours. You can make handmade chili oil.
Yamaimo teppanyaki is also a popular dish at izakayas. Check out the recipe. 👉 A recipe for the popular izakaya dish “Grated yam Teppanyaki”
MEMO
How do you guys store your cucumbers? Cucumbers are surprisingly easy to damage. I wrap it in damp paper towels and put it in a ziplock bag and store it in the fridge. You can keep it in a very good condition.
