Cucumbers with Wasabi and Rice VinegarDitte Isager

The Japanese are wild about pickles, pickling practically every vegetable and root they come across—and in sweet, salty, sour, and bitter incarnations to boot. In this classic, a hit of wasabi powder adds a subtle heat to these savory quick pickles.

Cooks' note:

• Cucumbers can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
