Quick Pickled Cucumbers Recipe

In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) until the sugar and salt are dissolved.

Place the thinly sliced cucumbers in a glass or non-reactive container.

Pour the vinegar mixture over the cucumbers, making sure they are fully submerged.

Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop.

Serve the quick pickled cucumbers as a tasty side dish or snack.
