Ingredients

  • 240 ml – 1 cup water
  • 80 ml – 1/3 cup vinegar – I used rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp salt
  • 2 cups cucumbers – sliced
  • ½ cup green onions – green part only, sliced

Instructions

  1. In a jar, mix together the water, vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.
  2. Add the sliced cucumber and green onion. Mix and make sure the cucumber slices are submerged in the liquid.
  3. Close the jar with a lid and refrigerate until ready to eat.

Recipe Notes

  • The pickles can be stored in the fridge for about a week. They may lose some of their crispness over time.
  • You can reuse the brine once or twice by adding more sliced cucumbers.
