A few weeks ago, I went out for sushi with a friend. She ordered sunomono, which I had never heard of, but turned out to be an amazing-looking Japanese cucumber salad. Despite not trying my friend's delicious-looking dish, the next day, I found myself craving what I imagined it tasted like. So I attempted to make something to satisfy my craving. I came up with these quick ginger-pickled cucumbers, and have made them multiple times a week since. They are a perfect summer side dish - refreshing and tangy with a little crunch.
