Pickled Sweet-and-sour Cucumber recipe

The "pickling" can be done in minutes rather than days — but the more time you have, the better the result.

1 slender cucumber, about 30 cm (12 in) long

5 ml (1 tsp) rice vinegar
2.5 ml (1/2 tsp) red chilli oil (optional)

3. Mix the cucumber with the sugar, vinegar and chilli oil. Sprinkle with the sesame oil just before serving.
