Ingredients | Cucumber Salad Thai

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

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.

Combine cucumbers, shallots, and chile peppers in a large bowl. Cover with pickling liquid. Refrigerate for a few hours to let flavors combine.
