I made several dishes from Japanese Knotweed including soup, steamed and the Japanese Knotweed pickles below. Used a very large amount of peeled Japanese
Knotweed (more than pictured below) and added a salt mixture (9 parts sea salt and 1 part nigari (magnesium chloride)) to the pickling container. I also added a bit of sauerkraut juice tohelp the fermentation start (although this may not be necessary).
