Cucumber and Wakame Pickles (Kyuuri to Wakame No Amasuzuke) image

This recipe is from a great Japanese food site, Just Hungry. This is a Japanese style instant pickle, not one meant to be preserved like Western style pickles. These sweet and sour and salty pickles should be eaten within a few days, and kept in the refrigerator. This uses the fueru (or kind that just requires soaking) type of wakame
