Pickled Jalapeno Peppers
Description
Fresh jalapeños sliced into thin rings create a base that can be adjusted for heat by removing seeds if desired. The pickling liquid combines soy sauce with garlic slices and seasoned rice vinegar, providing saltiness, acidity, and aromatic depth. Granulated sugar balances the acidity, while fresh lime and lemon juices add brightness and fresh citrus character. Lemon-lime soda introduces a subtle sweetness and effervescence to the brine.
After quickly boiling the brine ingredients and allowing them to cool slightly, the hot mixture is poured over the jalapeños in a sealed jar, then refrigerated for at least a day to let flavors meld. These pickled jalapeños can be used as a spicy condiment, topping, or ingredient to add acidity and heat to many dishes.
Ingredients
- 8 jalapeños
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 3 garlic sliced paper thin, cloves
- 3/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar (unseasoned will work in a pinch)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lime juice from 1 lime, fresh
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice from about 1/2 lemon, fresh
- 1/4 cup lemon-lime soda such as Sprite
Instructions
- Slice the jalapeños crosswise into thin rings about an 1/8-inch thick using a sharp knife or a handheld slicer. If you prefer a less-than-incredibly-spicy pickle, scrape out and discard the seeds. Place the jalapeño rings in a jar.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the soy sauce, garlic, rice vinegar, and sugar to a gentle boil and let it bubble for a few minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the citrus juices and soda and let cool until no longer piping hot, about 5 minutes.
- Pour the warm soy mixture over the jalapeños. Tightly seal the jar with the lid. Immediately refrigerate the pickled jalapeño peppers for at least 1 day and up to 2 weeks before strewing or scattering them onto anything and everything.
