- 4 tbsp sugar
- 6 tbsp kosher salt
- 2 cups unseasoned rice vinegar
- 2 cups mixed sliced or chopped vegetables more or less, to fill ⅔ of glass jar or other nonreactive container
Begin by heating vinegar in a small pot over medium-high heat.
Add salt and sugar, stirring until the mixture reaches a simmer.
Meanwhile, chop your selected vegetables and place them in a clean glass jar or another nonreactive container like ceramic.
Once the brine is ready, carefully pour it over the vegetables, ensuring not to overfill the jar or burn yourself.
Seal the jar tightly—the container will be hot—and transfer it to the refrigerator to cool.

Choose firm vegetables to maintain a satisfying crunch after pickling.

Slice vegetables evenly to ensure they pickle at the same rate.

For extra flavor, consider adding spices like mustard seeds, coriander seeds, or bay leaves to the vinegar.

Use gloves if you're including hot peppers to avoid skin irritation.
