Quick pickled cucumbers and bean sprouts using a vacuum chamber. Perfect for adding on top of Dolsot Bibimbap, a Korean rice bowl.
Don't confuse a FoodSaver vacuum sealer with a vacuum chamber. FoodSavers can not effectively vacuum seal liquids and you wouldn't achieve the compression effect that makes instant pickling possible. Interested in a vacuum chamber? Check out my review of the VacMaster VP215 here.
INGREDIENTS
Pickling solution
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp sugar
Pickled ingredients
- 1 cucumber, seeded and cut into match sticks
- 2 ½ cup bean sprouts, rinsed
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a separate bowl whisk together the vinegar, salt, and sugar until well combined.
- Place pickling solution in a vacuum chamber bag, along with the cucumbers and bean sprouts. Place bag in vacuum chamber and run a vacuum cycle. Once the cycle is complete, you can enjoy the pickles immediately or refrigerate them sealed for up to 24 hours.
If You Don't Own a Vacuum Chamber
- Instead of placing the pickling solution in a vacuum chamber bag, leave it in the bowl. Add the cucumbers and beansprouts to the bowl and let pickle overnight in the fridge.

Caramelized Eggs Cooked in Heavy Cream
These eggs are cooked in a nontraditional way, involving a combination of steaming and frying. When you cook your eggs in cream, the liquid quickly boils off, leaving you with butter fat to fry the egg in and caramelized butter solids that add a new flavor dimension to the eggs. It’s a great way to use left over heavy cream!
