This recipe can be easily adapted.
- one red onion
- 1/2 bag matchstick carrots
- 4–6 Japanese Cucumbers
- 2 bottles of rice wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 10–15 peppercorns
- Using a sharp knife or a Mandoline, slice the onion into thin slices.
- Using a Mandoline or a sharp knife, cut very thin slices of cucumber (unpeeled).
- Peel carrots if using small carrots, or I like to use the matchstick carrots in a bag.
- Blanche the red onions and the carrots by pouring boiling water over the vegetables (separately) in a mesh strainer.
- add the vegetables to jars
- Heat the vinegar and add the sugar and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine and then pour the hot vinegar over the vegetables, filling the jars.
- Add peppercorns or fresh herbs if used and leave the lids off until they cool.
- Once the vegetables are at room temperature, add lids and store them in the refrigerator.
- Use on rice bowls, burgers, sandwiches…you name it!
