Sweet and Sour Asian Pickled Cucumbers Recipe

These oh-so-simple Asian pickled cucumbers are a favorite quick pickle of mine. They take 5 minutes to assemble and need just 30 minutes in the fridge to reach puckery perfection!

📝 Ingredients

• 1 cup seasoned rice vinegar
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/8 teaspoon dried red chile flakes
• 2 seedless English cucumbers
• 1 shallot

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Slice the cucumbers into very thin coins (a mandoline works well for this job) and thinly slice the shallot as well. Add both to the quart jar or medium size bowl.
2. 2In a smaller bowl or jar, whisk the rice vinegar, sugar, grated ginger, salt and chile flakes together until the sugar has dissolved and pour over the cucumbers, tossing lightly to coat.
3. 3Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
