Ingredients

1/2 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
1 red chili pepper, minced (1 1/2 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
3 cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices (looks like a 1/4 moon)
4 scallions, white and light green parts, sliced thin
1/4 cup packed fresh basil leaf, chopped
table salt & fresh ground pepper

Steps:

Bring vinegar and sugar to boil in saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until mixture reduces by half, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to medium bowl and cool to room temperature.
Whisk in lime juice, ginger, chile, and sesame oil. Toss in cucumbers, scallions, and basil; season with salt and pepper, and let sit for 10 minutes or up to 1 hour. Serve.
