Sweet And Sour Cucumber Slices - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 1 1/2 lbs pickling cucumbers or 2 seedless English cucumbers, rinsed
1 cup clear rice vinegar
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger

Preparation

Trim the ends of the cucumbers and slice them lengthwise in half, then run the tines of a fork several times down the length to creat a slight decoration on the skin.
Scoop out the seeds with a spoon and cut the cucumber halves into 3-inch sections; cut the sections, along the length, into almost paper thin slices and place in a bowl.
Mix the remaining ingredients; add to the cucumbers and toss lightly to coat the slices.
Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes; serve cold.
