anything fresh is good. you want to have vegetables that are okay to eat raw. if not just blanch in boiled water for a few minute so it is cooked. I bought some lemon cucumber, water radish, carrots, purslane leaves, red pepper, corn and some small tree mushroom. Wash and cut all the vegetables to small pieces. I sliced cucumber and radish, julienned carrots. red pepper was roasted then thinly sliced. Corn and mushrooms, I boiled them in water for a few minutes to make sure it is fully cooked. then cut off the corn kernels.
I use gelatin as the thickener. vegan can use agar-agar instead.the spice is really just what I can find in the kitchen. I like some pickling flavor so I just add some dried dill. pepper corn. bay leaves, salt and white vinegar. the amount of solution is based on the gelatin mix. for this one is 2 cups of water.once the solution is cooled. let it sit in the fridge for at least 1 hr, or until some chucks formed at the bottom.
Once some chucks have formed in the liquid. mix in the vegetables and leave in the fridge until it is fully set.
I just cut a small piece and drizzled some olive oil. it's cold and refreshing and have a hint of that pickle flavor
