These pickles are really Great!  FYI for anyone wondering, rice wine vinegar and rice vinegar are basically the same thing.  I found this out after shopping for rice wine vinegar and not finding it.  <div>As others said, I cut down on the crushed red pepper flakes.  I used 2 tsps.  I did add 2 smallish garlic cloves, just cut in half. </div><div>Great pickles! </div>
