Steps:
- Whisk rice vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, fish sauce, and crushed red pepper in large bowl. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahed. Cover and Chill. Slice cucumbers crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Add cucumber slices to vinegar mixture; toss. Cover and chill ten minutes to 1 hour, tossing occassionally.
Tips:
- Choose the right cucumbers: For this recipe, pickling cucumbers or Kirby cucumbers are ideal. They are small and have a crisp texture that holds up well in the pickling process.
- Slice the cucumbers thinly: This will help them absorb the pickling liquid more evenly and ensure that they are cooked through.
- Use a variety of spices: The combination of garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, and black peppercorns gives these cucumbers a delicious and complex flavor. Feel free to adjust the amounts of each spice to suit your taste.
- Let the cucumbers pickle for at least 24 hours: This will give them time to absorb all the flavors of the pickling liquid. The longer you pickle them, the more flavorful they will become.
Conclusion:
These Asian-inspired cucumbers are a delicious and refreshing snack or side dish. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With their sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy flavor, they are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
