Pickling preserves fresh vegetables and ingredients while adding that distinctive tangy/sour flavour. There are variations, but the pickling process will typically involve covering the vegetable or chosen ingredient with vinegar, salt or sugar. Fermentation is also sometimes part of the process – i.e. like with kimchi.

Japanese pickles are particularly renowned and make use of various different pickling processes.

Commonly pickled vegetables include cucumber, napa cabbage, radish, garlic and carrot, but you’ll find an extensive variety beyond what you’d normally see in the supermarket here at Oriental Mart.
