Hae’s Korean Quick Pickled Cucumbers

Hae’s Korean Quick Pickled Cucumbers
Lately, I've been eating this combination on repeat: 
  • Fire Cracker
  • Vegan cashew cheese
  • Hae’s Korean quick pickled cucumbers

      Even though I’m the “cook” in the family, there are a handful of kitchen staples my wife, Hae, makes. This is a Min family recipe and I might be the first one to really write it down. Hae eats these pickles with rice and nori for a fresh snack. 

      I’ve been adding them to anything I can think of. The combination above is one of my favorite snacks! It’s so so good. Add a mixed green salad and you’ve got a meal! I made my own cashew cheese from the Moon Juice cookbook, but any cream cheese spread would be delicious.
