ingredients
- 1 cucumber, about 8 inches
- 44.37 ml rice wine vinegar
- 14.79 ml water
- 9.85 ml sugar
- 14.79 ml mirin
- 2.46 ml salt
- 1.23 ml crushed red pepper flakes
- 4.92 ml fresh mint leaves
directions
- Wash cucumber very well, or peel it.
- Cut cucumber in half crosswise and then in half lengthwise. Remove seeds.
- Thinly slice cucumber and place in a glass bowl.
- Thickness depends on how crisp you want the cucumbers to be when finished. Thicker = Crisper, but Thinner = Yummier!
- Place remaining ingredients into a magic bullet jar or a small food processor bowl. Process for about 30 seconds or until the mint looks like small specks.
- Pour marinade over sliced cucumbers, mix well and refrigerate for at least an hour.
- To serve, I usually place in individual shallow white prep bowls or little japanese ceramic serving dishes, spooning a little bit of the marinade over the top.
