How to Make Quick Zucchini Pickles
- In a large bowl, toss 2 pounds of thinly sliced zucchini with 1 tablespoon of kosher salt.
- Let stand for 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
- Drain the zucchini in a colander and firmly squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- In the same bowl, whisk together 1 cup of white vinegar, ½ cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes (or more, to taste).
- Add the squeezed zucchini to the vinegar mixture and toss gently to combine.
- Transfer the pickles to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. The flavor will deepen if allowed to sit longer (up to 3 days).
