LIGHTNING-FAST GARLIC SESAME PICKLES
These guys are ready-to-eat in less than 30 minutes--that's a speedy pickle. A bit spicy, and served icy cold, they are equally at home with Asian-inspired grilled meats or Southern barbecue (or fried chicken!). We peel garden cukes because the skin can be a little tough--but you don't need to peel Kirby or hothouse varieties. And if you have some on hand, stir a little sugar into the dressing to play off the heat of the red pepper.

Steps:
- If using garden cucumbers, peel them. Cut the cucumbers into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Put the slices in a colander over a bowl or in the sink, rub them with the salt and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, smash and then mince the garlic and put it in a medium bowl. Stir in the vinegar, sesame oil and, pepper flakes and sugar if using.
- Toss the cucumbers with the dressing. Put the bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes before eating--the pickles are best when super cold. To serve, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a serving bowl.
- The Sixth ingredient. A little bit of sugar, added in with the vinegar.
