This delightful summer dish is a must-try for those seeking a crisp and chewy vegetable experience.
What Are Karimori?
Karimori, a traditional vegetable hailing from Aichi, Japan, is a small variety of winter melon. Measuring about 20 cm, it is prized for its crisp texture and chewy bite, making it a staple at summer dining tables.
Chef Kawazu’s Traditional Recipe
Chef Yukiko’s miso pickled Karimori recipe is a family secret, passed down from her husband’s mother. Here is a step-by-step guide to making this delicious treat:
- Cut the Karimori in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with a spoon.
- Mix salt and monosodium glutamate (Ajinomoto) and sprinkle the surface of the Karimori. Ensure the mixture is evenly applied.
- Place three tablespoons of red miso paste in the hollow of each Karimori half and wrap it with plastic wrap, ensuring the miso covers the entire cut surface.
- Let the Karimori soak for about two days in the refrigerator. This process releases water, so ensure it is placed in a dish or container to catch the liquid.
- After two days, rinse the miso off with water and cut the Karimori into bite-sized pieces, ready to serve.
Savor the Flavor
Enjoy these pickles alongside white rice and miso soup for a calming, traditional Japanese meal. Chef Yukiko also suggests trying bran pickles if you have a bran bed, offering another delicious option for your summer meals.
