Print Recipe
- 1 pound cucumbers
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup rice vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/3 cup sugar
Halve the cucumbers, scrape out the seeds with a spoon, and thinly slice on a diagonal.
Combine the cucumber slices with 1/2 teaspoons of salt in a bowl and let it rest for a few minutes.
Stir the rice vinegar, water, and sugar in a medium sized glass jar until the sugar is dissolved.
Rinse and drain the cucumber slices, add to the vinegar mixture, cover the jar with a lid and mix.
Refrigerate for at least one hour (it will taste best overnight) before serving and eat within a week. Always transfer the sweet cucumbers from the jar to a serving dish with a clean utensil.
