Vegetables like <em>daikon<\/em> radish, carrots, cucumbers, cabbage and many others are perfectly pickled in soy sauce, vinegar, <em>sake<\/em> and uniquely, rice bran.<\/p>\n<p>Rice bran pickled vegetables, called <em>nukazuke<\/em>, are richly flavored pickles that are made using a cultured and fermented rice bran pickling starter called <em>nukadoko<\/em>. Rice bran pickling is said to have been developed during the 17<sup>th<\/sup> century, when machine-milled white rice became the standard. Since milling rice also stripped it of some of its vitamin B content, deficiencies were found among the population often associated with an illness called beriberi. Rice bran pickling was introduced to prevent beriberi and reintroduce thiamine (or Vitamin B1) back into the Japanese diet. Vegetables pickled in a <em>nukadoko<\/em> absorb thiamine from the rice bran. Today, <em>nukazuke<\/em> pickles are well-known as providing both thiamine and gut-friendly probiotics. Pickling in this style is similar to making sauerkraut and yogurt, where bacteria ferments the vegetables over the long term.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3484\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3484\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3484 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/nukadoko.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3484\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Nukadoko<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The <em>nukadoko<\/em> pickling bed is the most important element to making <em>nukazake<\/em> pickles. <em>Nukadoko<\/em>, at its most essential, is a combination of rice bran, salt, <em>kombu<\/em>, chili peppers, water and vegetable scraps.<\/p>\n<p>Each component of the <em>nukadoko<\/em> bed serves a purpose. The rice bran serves as the base of the <em>nukadoko<\/em>. Using fresh, unprocessed rice bran\u2013traditionally obtained at a rice mill\u2013makes the best <em>nukadoko<\/em>, but in modern kitchens, high-quality rice bran purchased from a grocery store can be an equally good base. Between 13%-15% of high-quality salt, such as sea salt or kosher salt, is added to the rice bran. Kombu seaweed is added to incorporate umami flavors into the mix, and chili peppers are added to prevent molding. Fresh, distilled or filtered water, with any chemicals used to clean the water removed, is added to keep everything moist and alive.\u00a0 Finally, vegetable scraps such as cabbage wedges are added to the mixture to begin the growth of beneficial yeast and lactobacillus bacteria, which then ferments the pickles. The resulting mix resembles wet sand with a few lumps in it!<\/p>\n<p>Once the basic mixture is created, it is cultured in a non-reactive container made of enameled metal, glass or wood between 68\u00b0F and 77\u00b0F. The pickling starter is aerated by mixing it with clean hands one to two times a day, until it smells clean and slightly sour. At this point, the vegetable scraps are removed and the <em>nukadoko<\/em> is ready to use for pickling vegetables!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3485\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3485\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3485 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/nukazuke2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3485\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Finished and prepared <em>nukazuke<\/em> pickles<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>Nukadoko<\/em> are highly prized and cared for. Some starters are passed down for generations, over decades. Pickling fanatics even take their <em>nukadoko<\/em> with them when they travel in order to maintain the freshness of the beds! The more cultivated the <em>nukadoko<\/em> is, the more complex the flavor of the resulting <em>nukazuke<\/em> pickles. As vegetables are pickled and removed from the <em>nukadoko<\/em>, the pickling bed is replenished with rice bran, salt, water and seasonings.<\/p>\n<p>Apple and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/?p=1560\">yuzu<\/a><\/em><\/span> peels are sometimes added to the <em>nukadoko<\/em> to infuse sweet and fruity aromas into the pickles.
