Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cucumbers thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp coconut aminos
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1-2 tsp chili oil

Instructions
 

  • First, wash and dry your cucumbers. Slice the cucumbers thinly.
  • In a jar, combine rice vinegar, coconut aminos, sugar, salt and chili oil.
  • Add the sliced cucumber to the jar, cover and shake so the cucumbers are completely coated with the marinade.
  • Place the cucumbers in the fridge for 15 minutes or ideally 2-4 hours.

Notes

  • No need to peel the cucumbers—just give them a good wash!
  • While they can be ready in as little as 15 minutes in the fridge, for the best flavor, let them marinate for 2-4 hours to achieve that perfect pickled bite.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 72 hours.
