Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 Large Cucumber ((*Note 1 & 2))
1/2 Cup Water
1/2 Cup Unseasoned Rice Vinegar ((*Note 3))

2 Cloves Garlic, Peeled and Smashed

Steps:

  • Slice the cucumber as thin and evenly as possible. I recommend a mandoline to ensure consistency.
  • Stuff as many cucumber slices into a jar as possible. I recommend a sealable glass mason jar (12 oz). Top with the garlic cloves.
  • Add the water, vinegar, sugar, salt and red pepper flakes (If using) to a medium size bowl and stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Taste and adjust the salt and sugar to your liking.
  • Pour the vinegar mixture over the cucumbers. They should all be covered by the liquid.
  • Marinate for at least an hour before enjoying to maximize flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to two months. (*Note 5)
