Miso Pickled Vegetables (Vegetable Misozuke)

Miso Pickled Vegetables (Vegetable Misozuke)

My Miso Pickled Vegetables (Vegetable Misozuke) are slightly different from most Misozuke recipes you might know of. The traditional miso pickling base is made of miso with a small amount of mirin. But my marinade contains a substantial amount of yoghurt which gives a milder saltiness to the pickled vegetables.I did not include Meal Ideas today because today's dish can go with almost anything as a side dish, or even nibbles.

Corned Beef and Cabbage with no seasoning packet

Corned Beef and Cabbage with no seasoning packet

I buy lots of meats at the whole sale house and for whatever reason the corned beef comes with no seasoning packet. Most of my questions about the seasonings said to use pickling spice? I make my own pickling spice and it has corriander, ginger, cloves, and cardomom in it, fine for pickles but for our tastes, not for corned beef and cabbage. I came up with this combo, and it turned out really good.
