These were, well, quick. Sort of a filler post until it’s all brought together.
Slicing into 1/8th inch with a Mandoline, next to mise en place.
Combine Salt and Sugar, let sit for 15 minutes.
These came out pretty good. Although they are not rocket science, they can come out sweet. I did a batch the day before as a little snack to munch on. Recipe repeated the next day when it all came together for the Momofuku pork buns.
Lessons Learned
- Take more photo’s. Since these were made just before bringing everything together, they went right into the pork buns and I never photographed the final quick-pickled cucumbers alone.
Coming Soon: Momofuku Pork Buns (pg. 79)

is it just salt, sugar and cukes? no liquids – oil or rice vinegar? or does the salt/sugar pull the water out of the cukes to make a ‘dressing’?
btw – are you cooking at your place in the city in these pics or at your parent’s house? it looked like your parent’s kitchen in a couple of the pics
Good catch. I made the Momofuku Pork Buns at my parents over Xmas. Timely as I don’t have a standing mixer w a dough hook!
It all come together next post!
so close and no call to come over and try them? for shame
keep up the good work on this – i’m enjoying the blog and the pics – too bad we haven’t invented smell-i-web yet
Heck with the smell-i-web. I want the taste-i-web!
