Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup rice vinegar
- 1/2 cup sugar (or honey for a healthier option)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust based on your spice preference)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by slicing the red onion thinly. The thinner the slices, the quicker they’ll pickle!
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, water, salt, and chili flakes. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.
- Once the mixture is boiling, remove it from heat. Add the sliced onions to the saucepan and stir to combine.
- Transfer the onions and pickling liquid into a jar or airtight container. Let them cool to room temperature before sealing.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, although a few hours will give you even better flavor.
- Serve on tacos, sandwiches, salads, or however you like!
