Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pc English cucumber or regular cucumber
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar or white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Wash the cucumber thoroughly. Whether you peel it or not is up to you; this recipe keeps the peel on for added texture and nutrients.
- Slice the cucumber into very thin slices.
- Place the cucumber slices in a mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
- Pour the vinegar mixture over the cucumber slices.
- Mix well to ensure all the cucumber slices are evenly coated with the vinegar mixture.
- Let the cucumbers marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate them. The longer they marinate, the more intense the flavor will be.
- Mix the cucumbers again before serving to redistribute the vinegar.
Notes
- For a stronger pickled flavor, allow the cucumbers to marinate for several hours or even overnight in the refrigerator.
- These marinated cucumbers can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
