Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 lbs cucumber (about 3 medium), peeled, halved lengthwise & thinly sliced
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 c rice vinegar, seasoned or regular
  • 1/2 c water
  • 3 T. sugar*
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 T. minced red onion

Instructions

  1. Place cucumber slices in a colander sitting over a bowl, sprinkle with salt and toss well.
  2. Let sit for 1 hour refrigerated.
  3. Toss the cukes a few times while they drain as well.
  4. While cucumber slices are draining, prepare marinade below.
  5. Combine vinegar, water, sugar and red pepper in a small saucepan; bring to a boil.
  6. Reduce heat, cook until reduced to a 1/3 cup (about 10 minutes).
  7. If for some reason you boil for too long, just add a little water until you have 1/3 C.
  8. Remove reduction from heat and add onion.
  9. Let mixture cool to room temp.
  10. When cucumbers are done resting, pat them dry with a few paper towels and then combine with the vinegar reduction.
  11. This can be served immediately, but for best results refrigerate until well chilled.
