Ingredients

2 hot house cucumbers, thinly sliced

2 fresh hot red chiles, thinly sliced

2 large handfuls fresh mint leaves

2 cups rice vinegar

4 teaspoons sugar

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Combine the cucumbers, chiles, and mint in a mixing bowl. Pour in the vinegar, sprinkle with the sugar, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together so the cucumbers are well coated with the vinegar. Refrigerate overnight if possible; the cucumbers will soften as they marinate and the flavors will deepen.

made this last night, and ate them tonight with dinner. was so delicious!! i loved that they were spicy! and the mint was great. i'm going to make this every summer. i love rice vinegar, being korean, so i would never use white vinegar! yuck! it's the rice vinegar that makes this recipe taste so asian and yummy. i did however use much less sugar than the recipe asked for.
