Quick Pickle Perfection: Crafting the Ultimate Homemade Quick Pickles

How can you make almost any dish better? Pickles. Today I'm going to show you three different basic homemade quick pickle recipes: pickled red onions, pickled mustard seed, and the essential quick pickled cucumber. You'll want to come back to this video as my next few videos will incorporate these. Happy pickling!

Quick pickles are also called refrigerator pickles and do need to be stored in the fridge. Unlike other kinds of pickles they do not have fermentation in their process and should be kept in the fridge.

You said you like rice vinegar, not rice wine vinegar, not sushi seasoning vinegar. I’ve always thought that rice vinegar and rice wine vinegar were the same?

In addition to the pickles, that shirt and pearl necklace combo are appreciated.

I absolutely love doing Vietnamese shredded radish and carrot pickles with a few Thai chilies and whole garlic clove thrown into the jar. It's a super topping for everything savory that needs a bit of brightening!

I bought a cut proof glove just for my mandolin because I've pickled one too many fingernail shards and skin shavings, but i also hate the included hand guard. Works great

❤Don’t be a hero. Man I love this human!! Pre-ordered your book Jon, cannot wait!! First time I have ever done that but solidly in the Kung Food camp😊

I make pickles of some kind every chance I have. I really gotta give pickled mustard seed a go

[crazybob]

Vegetarian pro tip: for fish sauce you can substitute "seasoning sauce, " available at most Asian markets and many regular supermarkets, for funky salty goodness

[alexissmith]

Yes, I concur about "best and easiest things you can put on any dish that just immediately makes it better", and they're also one of the best and easiest thing you can put in your mouth 😅😊❤

[gingerfani]

The way you made those pickled cucumbers is basically how cucumber salad is made in germany 😅 great side to summer bbq, just instead of chilli flakes we might add dill

[scotteoman]

Oh my, with the mandoline... I learned my lesson. Kevlar glove or bust! Love the content, btw. Pickled red onions are life.

[dyslexicbunny]

Don't play games with mandolin slicers. Either use the guard or don't push your luck. Hanging out in the ER isn't a lot of fun and you get a weird scar on your finger.

Well, you just joined Chef John (foodwishes), J. Kenji Lopez-Alt, Chef Majk, and Joshua Weissman as one of my favorite YT chefs. Awesome video, thank you for explaining your thought process so well as you're going through everything, very thorough and helps add to my own culinary edification. Cheers!

Man, turns out I was way over-brining my cucumbers (acar timun-style). Also some whole green and red bird eye chillis can do amazing things for a pickle.

[canadian_ronin]

the reaction to the doorbell cracked me up.

[BerryBoi]

Been looking for a video like this for a while now. Thank you so much sir. And the outfit slaps.

[ChevalierdeJohnstone]

Great video, people should also do this to keep veggies longer instead of wasting food. It’s not the same as shelf stable canning but quick pickles will keep much longer in the fridge if you don’t eat produce fast enough.

Repent and be chaste, God loves you.

[yo_stephen]

I enjoyed this video. Been wanting to get into pickling, this demystified it for me

[Zoe-rfly]

"don't be a hero" *proceeds to be a hero*

[CounterfittXIII]

Literally about to make Vietnamese pickles when this video popped up~

[mehtou]

He's so handsome I just can't. And I love love pickled veggies.
