Nourishing Asian Kitchen: No-Sugar Quick-Pickled Vegetables
This version of pickled vegetables is a great way for all the random vegeta-
bles in the refrigerator to come together as a nice, crunchy side dish. You
can use any vegetables you have on hand, as long as you end up with about
2 quarts. I love when our children fish for their favorite vegetables in the
colorful mason jar!
I put together this pickling spice mix as a timesaver to have on hand when
you want to clear out the fridge and make quick meals. There are other
options you can use for pickling spices; feel free to swap out some from the
list below for a different flavor profile.
