Prep: 6 minutes; Chill: 30 minutes. Asian cooks often make a simple sweet-and-sour pickle by tossing cucumbers in vinegar and sugar. I like to add a little pickled ginger for unexpected flavor.
Ingredients:
2 pounds english or pickling cucumbers, halved and diagonally cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices
4 tablespoons drained, matchstick-cut pickled ginger
2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
1 cup rice vinegar
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
Directions:
1. Place cucumber slices in bowl. Combine pickled ginger and all remaining ingredients; add to cucumbers, and toss gently to coat. Cover with plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes. Serve cold.
