Spicy Asian Pickles
Ingredients:
If you're a pickle fan, here's something a little different with a spicy Asian twist. Quick and simple and perfect for BBQ's or added to stir frys. Or just as a snack!
1 large English cucumber
1.5 cups unseasoned rice vinegar
1 tsp sambal oelek or sriracha
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
10 sprigs cilantro
Instructions:
- Thinly slice the cucumber into 1/3” rounds. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine rice vinegar, sambal olek, sugar and salt. Whisk to combine.
- In a quart-size glass Mason jar, add the cilantro.
- Add the cucumber slices to the jar.
- Pour the rice vinegar mixture over the cucumbers.
- If the cucumbers are not submerged completely into the mixture, add cold water.
- Seal the jar and place in the refrigerator.
- Allow cucumber to marinate at least 12 hours and up to 3 days. The longer it hangs out, the spicier the pickles will be!
