Ingredients

  • 1 large red onion, peel and slice into 1/4-inch thick slices
  • 1 cup rice vinegar, or white vinegar
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2.5 tablespoons cane sugar, depending on preferred sweetness
  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced or left whole
  • 5-10 pink peppercorns

Equipment

  • 1 pot
  • 1 colander
  • 1 sealable container

Instructions 

  • Boil a pot of water. While the water is boiling, peel and slice the red onion into 1/4-inch thick slices. Add the slices to a colander over the sink. Pour the boiling water over the slices for a quick blanch. This will help soften the onion.
  • Next, in a sealable container, combine the warm water and sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the rice vinegar, garlic cloves and peppercorns. Stir well.
  • Add the warm blanched onions to the pickling juice. Seal the container closed and store in the refrigerator for at least one hour before using.
