Impress your guests with these cheery yellow pickles! These bright yellow pickles are usually found in the Asian grocery store, shrink wrapped with a little bit of brining solution in a half log form in the cooler section. I always wondered how they got their bright color and now I know! It's our good old friend turmeric...the culprit to so many yellow stained foods 😂This recipe is super easy so if you want to dress up your next Asian inspired meal, I'd totally give it a go!
The flavor develops over time, so if you like a more concentrated taste you can leave them for longer. They are a brilliant addition to any Japanese dish -- katsudon, grilled salmon, curry rice, sushi, tempura soba (pictured below) and more!

How thick would you cut the slices? For an extra kick I might add a piece of red chili pepper.
