<Miwa's tips>
・By rubbing the cucumbers in salt it helps to retain its bright green color and helps to absorb the seasonings.
・Please adjust the amount of wasabi paste since it's pretty pungent.
・If you are sensitive to wasabi, leave it in the fridge for 30 minutes first. The taste will become more mild when you leave it longer.
・This way of cutting the cucumber helps to absorb more seasoning + is more presentable! Haha. However, you can always cut in small chunks as you would normally do if you like.
<Storage time>
Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
