500 grams Japanese Cucumbers, 4mm slices
188 grams Soy Sauce
125 grams Mirin
60 grams Rice Vinegar
1 cup Reserved Shiitakes, 5mm slices
1 cup Reserved Kombu, 5 mm slices

Steps

Combine soy, mirin, rice vinegar, kombu, shiitakes, and ginger into a large pot and bring to a boil.
Add sliced cucumbers and bring back to a boil; let boil for 1 minute (it won't look like it's enough liquid but the cucumbers will release their water).
Take off heat and allow to cool down. Refrigerate overnight.
