Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Breadfruit Pickle
- For a milder pickle, reduce the amount of chili powder.
- Adjust the salt according to your taste preference. Taste before serving and add more if needed.
- If you don't have sesame oil, you can substitute with another neutral-flavored oil like vegetable oil, but sesame oil adds a unique flavor.
- Store the pickle in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. The flavors will deepen over time.
