[@lindawilliams2716]

I made this one and the first couple of days it was quite good. By the fourth day it didn't taste good. I followed the recipe exactly, so I recommend that it's really eaten within the first couple of days. Thank you.

[@ModernPepper]

Hi 👋@LindaWilliams 👋YES, you are absolutely CORRECT👍 By the third or fourth day, the cucumbers would have turned a corner, into a slushy gel-like consistency, making it inedible. My personal preference is to consume these pickled cucumbers within 24 hours, post the initial 12 hours pickling period (as mentioned in the video @6:15). THANK YOU for making these cucumbers🙏🙏🙏 AND thanks for sharing your valuable recommendation🤗

I really have learned a lot from your cooking channel ... I refer your channel to alot of others learning to get healthier and wanting to cook and eat healthier. THANK YOU... When making the pickled cucumber can I save the juice and when all is consumed can I add more cucumbers after I did the salt bath to the juice.

[@ModernPepper]

Hi Gail! So nice of you to refer my Korean cooking channel to your friends😍. As for reusing the pickling juice, I would advise against that. Every time we, Koreans, make any sort of pickling-anything, including kimchi, we remake everything from scratch. We never reuse the older picking juice or paste. You want to restart with the fresh vegetables and create that same pickling process with new fresh pickling process.

Made a mistake in my previous comment by KZbin. Not cumbersome but " Far better than cucumber pickles made in the U.S." is what I wrote. 오이지, oigee, is 여름의 명물입니다.

As for ‘OYeeJi’ 오이지, I believe that this is NOT a simple and quick recipe, as it requires a significant amount of time slowly fermenting in salt. And I agree with you that ChoSun Cucumber (aka Korean cucumbers) are the tastiest, but this is not available nationwide in the US or worldwide. Kirby cucumbers are a good substitute that is available here in the US.

[@angeladeleon1164]

Does it have to be Kirby cucumber? Can I use Persian cucumbers instead?

[@ModernPepper]

Hi Angela De leon👋. Yes, you can use Persian cucumbers instead. But because Persian cucumbers are a bit smaller in size, it will require slightly less pickling time or just eat them a bit faster before it becomes too soft.

[@sunkenlily]

Omg these cucumbers are sooo good. I made a batch last night and am eating it for breakfast right now (with kimchi and beef bulgogi ) sooooo delicious. My only question is can i reuse the liquid to pickle more cucumbers ??? 💙

[@ModernPepper]

Hi Pam Pam! Excellent question. NO, reusing the liquid is not recommended. It will alter the taste and actually spoil it. When pickling our vegetables, we, Koreans, always start from scratch so all the ingredients ferment together from the start. Luv hearing that you had this with bulgogi. Not sure if you saw my latest recipe, here you go... Super Simple 3 Minute Bulgogi kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpnZeHSkgJahpJY Thanks for cooking Korean food with me!

[@FUNKACHELI]

Washed Korean cucumber with a little salt is already heaven ... so all this draining water is fine but doesn't really lead to great taste .... cause it depends on personal taste and just add pepper flakes or paste or sesame oil and you already killed it and add a little sugar to make it great .

[@ModernPepper]

Hi 👋 @SACTICAL BAG It sounds like u found a perfect way to make these fresh cucumbers perfectly made for ur taste👍🤗😉. These cucumber dishes come in SO MANY variations. Some like it saltier with more garlicky taste, some like them extra vinegary with sugary taste, some like them w very little liquid/no salt brining but with lots of spiciness (GoChuGaRu, GoChuJang, julienned green & red peppers, onions, scallions all mixed w vinegar, sugar and topped off w sesame oil & seeds). I really love all variations of these fresh cucumber pickles/sides-dish/banchan😋🥰🤤.

[@ModernPepper]

Hi 👋 @MakaOceania I love that u r protective of restaurant’s recipes🥰 My Tofu is one of my favorite Korean tofu restaurants. I often promote My Tofu House on my social media AND in this video, I showcase the greatness of this restaurant and list their info on my blog page for others to visit. This cucumber dish is one of their side dishes and many Korean restaurants serve this or similar versions of it. Also, I am friends with the owner 😎 and do not have any business relationship with them to promote their restaurant. I only have intentions of promoting this restaurant because, in my opinion, it is better than the big-chain Korean tofu stew restaurants. Next time u r in SF, u must make a stop at My Tofu House 🥰. Stay safe and healthy, Maka😊

no worries. anyone who has made a recipe public knows most people will never make it themselves. they read, want to eat it, and go to the restaurant or buy the product instead. it is just the way humans work.
