Toss those cucumber slices into a tsukemono press or into a bowl. Sprinkle on some salt. Toss the cucumbers in the salt and gently rub the salt into the surface. Mix in the sesame seeds, then arrange the cucumbers so that they lay mostly flat, then toss in the peppers and kombu. Pop on the lid, and this is what you’ll have.
In a small bowl, combine rice wine vinegar, low carb sweetener, salt, ginger, and soy sauce. If desired, you can use a little sesame oil too. Add the cucumber and mix well. Stir in the slices until they are coated with the dressing. Place the bowl in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour before serving. Your dish is now ready to enjoy!
Method Slice cucumbers into thin rounds. Place in a bowl or tsukemono press and sprinkle with salt. Arrange cucumbers so they are mostly flat. Place kombu and peppers over the top. If using a pickle press, place the lit on and tighten until the cucumbers are gently pressed tot the bottom.
Unlike many Western pickles, Tsukemono are pickled in some combination of salt, soy sauce, miso, sake lees, or rice bran and don’t include any vinegar. Any tartness in the pickle is a result of lacto-fermentation, which converts the sugars in the vegetables into lactic acid, giving them a sour taste.
