Spicy Asian Cucumbers
Pickling and Fermenting
Ingredients:
- 1 or 2 Persian cucumber
¼ cup finely chopped (not grated red onion)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon dark soya sauce
2 teaspoons chili oil (recipe link in notes below)
¼ cup white vinegar
¼ cup water
Directions:
Thinly slice the cucumber (I used a different technique, watch the video to understand better)
In a clean dry glass jar, add the sugar, soy sauce, chili oil, vinegar and water. Whisk to mix.
Then add the cucumber and chopped onion. Mix it around. Cover and leave aside in the fridge for minimum 30 minutes.
The flavor gets better the next day after resting in the fridge for overnight.
