Hanh Dam (Vietnamese Pickled Onions) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 white onion
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup rice vinegar

Preparation

Peel and then cut the onion in half. Slice the onion very thinly and place in a glass or ceramic bowl.
Dissolve the sugar in the vinegar, then add to the sliced onions. Make sure you have enough vinegar mix to cover the onions.
Let the onions marinate for at least fifteen minutes, tossing onions occasionally to make sure all absorb the vinegar. Store leftovers in a covered jar in the refrigerator. Use within a few days.
