Crunchy Sake Pickles

Ingredients for Crunchy Sake Pickles

• 900g mixed vegetables, such as 4x1/2" spears of English hothouse or Persian cucumbers, 4x1/4" spears of peeled carrots, and quartered radishes

• 1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt

• 8 thinly sliced shiso or large basil leaves

• 1 red Fresno chilli or jalapeño cut into 1/2" rings

• 45ml sake

• 2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar

• 2 teaspoons sesame seeds

• 1 cucchiaino di zenzero pelato e grattugiato finemente

Toss 900g mixed vegetables, such as 4x1/2" spears of English hothouse or Persian cucumbers, 4x1/4" spears of peeled carrots, and quartered radishes, with 1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt in a large wide nonreactive bowl. Press plastic wrap on surface of vegetables. Place a small plate over, then weigh down with two 800g cans (such as canned tomatoes). Let stand at room temperature for 2 hours.

Remove cans, plate, and plastic wrap; transfer vegetables to a colander. Rinse well with cold water. Transfer drained vegetables to a large bowl. Add 8 thinly sliced shiso or large basil leaves, 1 red Fresno chilli or jalapeño cut into 1/2" rings, 45ml sake, 2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar, 2 teaspoons sesame seeds, and 1 teaspoon finely grated peeled ginger. Toss to coat; cover and refrigerate, tossing occasionally, for at least 1 hour. DO AHEAD: Pickles can be made 1 week ahead. Keep chilled, tossing occasionally.

To serve, use a slotted spoon to transfer vegetables from pickling liquid to large mugs, mason jars, or bowls.
