MUJI's "Fermented Nukadoko" Review

When I finally tried this product, which the En-eating editorial department had been interested in for a long time, I was surprised to find that the delicious vegetables pickled in bran were completed ...! Especially recommended ingredients are "avocado"!

● How to make

The unmarked bran floor is fermented in advance, so you can pickle vegetables as it is. The bag has a zipper, so there is no need to transfer it to another container. Simply insert your favorite vegetables, close the zipper, seal it, and leave it in the refrigerator.

This time I will pickle cucumber, eggplant and avocado.

Cut the cucumber as it is, or if it is large, cut it in half. Wash the eggplant with salt, remove the calyx and cut it in half vertically. Cut the avocado in half, remove the seeds and peel.

Dig a little on the bran floor, gently place the vegetables, and gently pour the bran from above.

Close your mouth tightly and go to the refrigerator. Cucumbers are 12 to 18 hours, eggplants are 16 to 24 hours, and avocados are ready to eat after soaking for 1-2 days! Take it out of the bran floor, wash it with water, and cut it appropriately.

It's done!

● What is the taste?

The cucumber has a crispy and fresh texture, and the salty taste is unstoppable! The eggplant is crispy and firm, and the faint acidity and the flavor of the eggplant go well together. And avocado. It has a smooth and smooth mouthfeel, and the mellowness like butter, the scent of pickled bran, the acidity and saltiness go perfectly together! Insanely delicious!

If you pickle it yourself, it will have a richer scent and a deeper flavor than the ready-made Nukazuke on the market. Of course, in addition to cucumbers, eggplants, and avocados, you can also pickle your favorite vegetables such as turnips, carrots, and radishes, and boiled eggs. The bran floor can be used repeatedly for a long time depending on the care. If the number of nukadoko is low, you can add the separately sold "fermented nukadoko replenishment". Why don't you start living on the bran floor easily?
