- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp sugar (to ½ tsp, to taste)
- ½ cup rice vinegar

Instructions
- Slice cucumbers (I like to use an OXO mandoline and slice directly into a colander.) Sprinkle with a little Kosher salt but don’t make the cucumbers too salty.
- Put a plate underneath the colander and set aside for about 2 hours (or for a more pickled cucumber dish, leave overnight).
- After the allotted time, taste a slice to see if it’s too salty, and if so, squeeze them a little in paper towels to remove some of the saltiness.
- In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger juice (if using), green onions and hot pepper, to taste.
- Add the cucumber slices to the mixture and mix well.
- Refrigerate for at least an hour (for a fresh tasting side dish) or for up to a few days (more flavorful, and pickled flavor).
Notes
- Use fresh, organic vegetables
