Instructions

Step 1

Mix [A] together.

Step 2

Cut the vegetables into bite-sized sticks or similar shapes as desired. Briefly boil the lotus root, then marinate all the vegetables in the mixture from step 1.

Step 3

Serve in a dish.

Tip

Cutting the vegetables into sticks along the grain enhances their texture, and gently massaging them in a plastic bag helps the marinade absorb more easily. These pickles can be enjoyed right away or over the next 2–3 days as the flavors develop.
