OMG LOVE that you have a DIY pickle press idea!!!
I have to try this!!
Well I can't take credit for that. LOL Got the idea from this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Easy-Japanese-Pickling-Five-Minutes/dp/4889961135/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1239197120&sr=8-1
Awesome book, I highly recommend it :D
I love to make something similar to this. But I cheat and get the slaw or broccoli slaw mix then just make the dressing to toss it with. Good stuff! Oh, throw in some scallions too!! That really gives it some zip!
Arm70: Thanks for the tip about the scallions, I'll definately try it next time!
