C – These pickles are one of my favorite things to eat at a Japanese restaurant. I love ordering it. I always feel like I never get enough.
I loved making this recipe because I ate the entire dish all by myself.
This recipe is so quick and simple. Just let it marinate overnight and you have achieved pickles.
I am so glad these pickles are quick, because I wouldn’t be able to handle waiting too long for them to be ready.
I loved the sweet, sour and salty taste with some crispy sesame seeds over top.
Next time I think I will double the recipe because I ate them way too fast.
