Sunomono

This is that very sweet and sour salad served as a starter in Japanese restaurants. Sunomono means preserved, food immersed in vinegar and in my revenue I add carrots and Japanese cucumber.

You can follow the proportions I indicate, but you may find it too strong, or too sweet, so next time you adapt it to your taste by modifying the quantities.

Ingredients:

• 4 tablespoons of salt (to dehydrate the vegetables);
• 2 Japanese cucumbers;
• 1 carrot;
• 5 spoons of rice vinegar;
• 3 tablespoons of sugar;
• 1 pinch of salt;
• White and black sesame to decorate.

* People with sugar restrictions can use that powdered sweetener in the same proportion.

The first step is to finely slice the cucumbers and carrots. For this I use a slicer. This one is very cheap and works perfectly.

Place the 4 tablespoons of salt over the vegetables and mix well so that the salt gets on all the slices. Let it rest for 15 minutes.

The vegetables will release a lot of water. Rinse well with running water to remove all the salt.

Add the other ingredients and mix well. Delicious people! Love it too much!!!
