With too many cucumbers to keep up with from the garden, I made batches of ginger-pickled cucumbers!
This is an excellent snack to keep on hand in the fridge or at work.
Ingredients:
- 1-2 Cucumbers
- 1/4 cup Rice Vinegar
- Splash of filtered water
- 1/2 – 1 tsp sugar
- 1″ piece of fresh ginger, grated
- Salt, Pepper
You can either peel the cucumbers or leave the skins on. I like to peel them in stripes because I think I’m fancy.
Combined the sliced cucumbers and all other ingredients in a shallow dish.
You only need splash of water, but you can adjust the vinegar/water/sugar ratio to taste.
Shake the container to coat cucumbers in the mixture and allow to sit at least a few hours in the refrigerator. The longer these sit the softer and more pickled-tasting they get. The ginger flavor is so good!!
