Indonesian vegetable pickle recipe , Acar






After a quite sometimes I finally manage to make acar, the preparations it self is just easy as turning your palm, but I must have to say that this stuff should always remain in my chiller, It’s a great to be a stand by complement  

How would I enjoy a plateful of Mie Goreng (fried noodles ) without acar:)

    
Acar (pickles) is a way of preserving foods by using vinegar, seasons with salt and sugar, it sounds basic but its really shooting, the collaborations between the flavour and texture are on the button.
Usually I made ​​my pickles just a simple one, using cucumbers, carrot, shallot and green chilli, store in the jar and refrigerated, the taste infused perfectly.
As acar served as a side dish, its goes well with such a nasi goreng ( fried rice) or mie goreng (fried noodles)
