This fresh pickle is the classic accompaniment to many deep-fried and barbequed Thai appetizers and some curries. It’s best made a few hours before serving.
Ingredients
- ½ cup white vinegar
- ¼ cup water
- 4 tablespoons white sugar, or more to taste
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 6 cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced
- 3 shallots, thinly sliced
- 2 Thai bird's eye chiles, halved lengthwise
Directions
Step 1
Combine vinegar, water, sugar, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook until sugar and salt are dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning so the pickling liquid is pleasantly sweet, sour, and lightly salty.
Step 2
Combine cucumbers, shallots, and chile peppers in a large bowl. Cover with pickling liquid. Refrigerate for a few hours to let flavors combine.
