Ingredients

1 cucumber
1 eggplant
2 tablespoons of shiso plum pickles
5 tablespoons of umezu (plum vinegar)
2 tablespoons mirin
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon chopped ginger
Optional: a bowl of tsukemono

Instructions

Wash the cucumber and eggplant.
Cut them into thin slices or small sticks so that they absorb the marinade well.
Place the vegetables in a bowl, add salt, and mix.
Let stand for 10 minutes, then squeeze gently to remove excess water.
Add the shiso plum pickles, umezu, mirin, and chopped ginger.
Mix thoroughly to coat the vegetables well.
Transfer to a tsukemono bowl or airtight container.
Leave to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight, until it turns a beautiful purple color.
Serve chilled as a topping on white rice or as an accompaniment to your Japanese dishes.

Recipe notes

For a sweeter shiibazuke, slightly increase the amount of sugar.

For extra crunch, add a few slices of cucumber or daikon radish.

You can adjust the amount of chili pepper according to your tolerance for spicy food.

Shiibazuke goes perfectly with white rice, onigiri, or as an accompaniment to grilled Japanese dishes.
