Guest guest Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I don't like vinegar. Blech, yuk ptooie. But this recipe was in the Kitazawa Seed Co. catalog last year and I tried a bit on rice. Hmm...yum. Then I sliced fresh cucumbers and onions and marinated it with su. Then I tossed in some long radish. Then in my ramen noodles.Oh my. Nice. I posted the recipe for basic su last year but it's worth posting again because I always have a heck of a time finding the recipes from this marvelous catalog. The following recipes are from their catalog. The catalog, recipes and veggies can be found at www.kitazawaseed.com Basic Su 1 cup sugar 1 cup white vinegar Salt to taste Combine sugar and vinegar in a saucepan on low heat. Stir to dissolve sugar. Add salt to taste. Su can be prepared in advanve and stored in the refrigerator. Miso Su 2 tablespoons vinegar 2 tablespoons sugar 1/4 cup miso Chile flakes, sesame seeds are optional for flavoring Instead of using the vinegar and sugar ingredients, use the Basic Su you may already have prepared. Mix all the dressing ingredients until smooth. Add a little water to thin or to reduce the flavor if necessary. Miso Su can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I do something similar, but I think what I do is simpler. I make something called nama su. It is cucumbers with su. I do it like this: 1-1/2 c sugar 1-1/2 c white vinegar some cucumbers (like about 4 or 5) peeled, cored, and sliced thin Mix the sugar and white vinegar, stir, and then let set for awhile, stirring occasionally until the sugar is somewhat dissolved. Pour the su mix over the cucumbers and marinate for a few hours. Stir to mix and then serve chilled. I can't tell you how often I've been asked for this very simple recipe!

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Nummies! Mother always did something like that and served it floating in the lovely sweet and sour bath with ice cubes. Down here they just use pure vinegar. Blech. Funny how so often the simple recipes are still the best! Hugs! Jeanne in GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 My mom adds sour cream to that mixture. I love cucumbers -- and I add sliced red onions, too! Makes my breath awful, but...

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 That sounds so good, and I love sour cream and red onion. I found some gorgeous white cucumbers in one of my seed catalogs and am so darned tempted. It's sooooo beautiful. Can't you see it sliced for presentation with some radishes cut like flowers in the center and broccoli Romanescu as the leaves? There's a red onion called Red Candy. Gotta have that, too. Off to heating pad. For some strange reason, I threw my back out while double digging. Can't imagine why...Jeanne in GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
