pickled vegetables are basically like pickles...
the most basic process i can think of would be to get some veggies, put them in an air tight container w/ lots of salt... then let sit for a few weeks
^_^
in japan, they're called 'tsukemono' or pickled things...
and there's a large variety of them~

and their tastes differ, depending on the pickling method and the vegetable/vegetables used

and... aji is supposedly teh cheapest fish available >.>''
in english, it's better known as horse mackerel



In the shadows beneath the trees he waits.
In the darkness under the moon he plots
In the silence of the night he kills.
