Sunomono

I love to order sunomono when we go out to Japanese, but it when I see the $3.50+ price on the menu I always think to myself I should make this at home.  In truth, I've tried a number of times.  My mother-in-law makes it all the time and has casually rattled off the recipe to me a number of times but I could never replicate it accurately - did I mention she is Japanese so I think its in her blood. :)

I got these great Japanese cucumbers from Amazon Fresh the other day and they inspired me to give it another try.  I found this recipe for sunomono and followed it exactly except I didn't use any daikon.  It turned out great!
