Salted Plum or Umeboshi in Japanese are served as part of a traditional meal to aid digestion and to add fibre to the daily diet. These are some easy recipes from umeboshi.....

The slightly sour saltiness of the umeboshi sauce contrasted well with the sweet, creamy cheesecake.
Umeboshi sauce
Ingredients 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon ultrafine sugar*
1/3 cup water1 teaspoon shiso leaves*
3 umeboshi*, pitted

**NOTE**
- Shiso leaves (salted beefsteak plant leaves) are not required, however, I felt it gave the sauce added saltiness.
- Number of umeboshi used depend on the size and the amount of flavor you'd like your sauce to have. The umeboshi I used were about an inch in diameter.
- Adjust sugar to the desired level of sweetness.
