(squeezing and pressing it out). both of these techniques in combination will give you the ideal (slightly dehydrated japanese cucumber) that you're going for. to help minimize salt intake i'd also recommend rinsing the pickles lightly in running water prior to squeezing. chances are you already get plenty of salt from other areas of your diet. what do you think? have you tried to make sunomono before? if so whatd you put in it? and if not, would you try this one? lmk in the comments!
