  • 350ml (12 fl oz) water
  • 100ml (4 fl oz) rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon caster sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation method

  1.   Combine cucumbers and red onion in a serving bowl.
  2.   In a mixing bowl, stir together water, rice wine vinegar, sugar and salt. Pour over cucumbers. Chill for 1 hour. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

    Tweak: SPIKERDINK Used different ingredients:

    I love cucumber and red onion together. I used more sugar and regular vinegar instead of the rice wine. I also threw in some dill for added flavour and they were delicious. Thanks Ann

    Tweak: DAVEGATTI Altered ingredient amounts:

    I used white onion (I did not have a red onion) and doubled the sugar. After marinating for several hours, the onion flavour was overpowering so I drained the liquid and added 2 more teaspoons of sugar to sweeten it. I am going to put it on a sandwich with cream cheese, tomatoes and avocado.

    Review: EWORTHY

    Super easy but a little too bitter for my tastes with the vinegar but my wife loved it. Varying the ratio of vinegar to sugar helps make this a sour or sweet salad depending on your tastes.
