How to Make Pickled Cucumber
- Cut 2 unpeeled cucumbers lengthwise in half and scoop out the seeds using a spoon.
- Slice the cucumbers thinly (about 1/8 inch thick).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup rice vinegar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup water until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Add the sliced cucumbers to the vinegar mixture. Gently toss to ensure all cucumber slices are coated.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for 40 minutes, gently turning the cucumbers every 10-15 minutes to promote even pickling.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully develop. Enjoy! These pickles will keep for up to 10 days in the refrigerator.
