konnichiwa it's nami from just one
cookbook back with another video for you
and today I'm going to make a type of
japanese pickle called amazuzuke sweet vinegar pickles
it's fun to make
pickles with seasonal vegetables and
you can find recipes for different types of
pickles on my website and I will link up here
in japan pickles are always served with the steamed rice and it works as a palate cleanser
especially when you eat strong flavor food,  it's very easy to make today's pickle
so let's get started
in a small saucepan, combine 1 cup rice vinegar, ½ cup sugar, and 2 tsp salt
whisk well to combine over medium heat
once boiling, turn off the heat, let cool to room temperature
peel 8 oz daikon and cut into ¼-inch slabs and then into sticks
peel 3 oz carrot, cut into thin slabs, and then cut into thin strips
put the daikon and carrot in the plastic bag and add 1 tsp salt
close the bag and rub the vegetables from outside the bag for 1 minute and set aside for 15 minutes
open the bag and drain the liquid completely that’s released from the vegetables
add ¼ cup Amazu into the bag and combine with vegetables
cut 1 red chili pepper into rounds and remove seeds, add the red chili pepper rounds into the bag
squeeze the half lemon and rub the vegetables from outside the bag
set aside for 15 minutes (or a few hours, if you prefer) to marinate the vegetables
serve the amazuzuke in a bowl
