Introduction
By cutting the cucumbers into an accordion (jabara) shape, the flavors penetrate deeply in a short amount of time. The refreshing aroma of shiso leaves pairs perfectly with a rich sauce made from chicken bouillon, soy sauce, and olive oil, making these a crunchy, addictive snack you won't be able to stop eating.
Step 1
Wash the cucumbers well under running water while rubbing them with your hands, then wipe off any excess moisture.
Step 2
Cut the cucumbers in an accordion style. First, angle the knife diagonally and make deep cuts without slicing all the way through. Flip the cucumber over and make the same style of cuts straight (perpendicular) across.
Step 3
Break the accordion-cut cucumbers into pieces that fit your storage container and arrange them inside.
Step 4
Remove the stems from the shiso leaves, stack and roll them up, then shred into thin strips and sprinkle evenly over the cucumbers.
Step 5
Drizzle the dried chili, chicken bouillon powder, soy sauce, water, and olive oil over the top in order.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
💡 When cutting the accordion style, place the tip of the knife on the cutting board to ensure you get deep, even cuts without slicing all the way through.
💡 To avoid overpowering the flavor, it is recommended to use a mild oil like pure olive oil or vegetable oil that doesn't have a strong scent.
⚠️ Since this is a quick-pickle recipe, tearing the cucumbers by hand helps the sauce soak into the uneven surfaces more effectively.
