Ingredients (6 cm × 10 cm jar):

• Mirin (before rehydrating): 15g
• Your preferred Vinegar: 120cc (Enough to fill up the mirin)
• Sugar: 40g
• Water: 150ml
• Your preferred Vegetables: Recipe includes cabbage and celery

How to:

1. Soak Mirin in plenty of water for about 8 minutes to rehydrate.
   
   
2. Boil vinegar, sugar, and water in a pot. Once the sugar has dissolved, transfer to a sterilized bottle and add the vegetables. Cool it in ice water.
3. Once the liquid has cooled thoroughly, add the desalted Mirin to the bottle and immerse it well. (If there isn't enough pickling liquid, repeat step 2)
4. For vegetables other than celery and cabbage, it's recommended to combine crunchy vegetables like radish or lotus root!

Mixing the pink color of Mirin with the green of cucumber is absolutely stunning! If you're thinking of using cucumber, pickle it at the same time as the mirin to prevent it from color fading.
