Fast and Spicy Thai Pickles image

These are so easy to make and perfectly addictive. Make them in the morning and eat them for supper. For a nice change, you can add one red pepper, sliced in strips.

Time 4h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 c white vinegar
1 c granulated sugar
1/4 c water
3 medium cucumbers, seeded, sliced into spears
6 green onions, sliced on an angle
2 birds eye peppers, chopped finely or 2 tsp dried chili pepper flakes
10 clove garlic
1 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. Combine vinegar, sugar and water in a pot on the stove. Bring to a boil, turn down heat and allow to simmer for 10 minutes. It will thicken somewhat.
  • 2. Add garlic, salt and chili (flakes or fresh). Remove from heat and allow to cool 10 minutes.
  • 3. Cut cucumbers in half, lengthwise. Remove seeds. Slice lengthwise into halves and then quarters. Cut each strip in half so that each piece is about 3-4 inches in length.
  • 4. Place cucumbers in a shallow glass or plastic container. Pour prepared vinegar syrup over top, including chili and garlic cloves. Stir gently so all the cucumbers are coated. Seal container with a lid or plastic wrap. Add green onions. Store in fridge for 4 hours before serving. Will keep in fridge up to a week.
