Lee Hong's Cucumbers

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 long English cucumber, sliced very thin (do not use short green cucumbers)
• 6 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 Spanish onion, thinly sliced
• 8 tablespoons white vinegar
• 6 tablespoons water

Directions

1. 1

   Slice cucumbers as thin as you can.

2. 2

   Arrange cucumber slices in a bowl in layers, salting between layers. Sprinkle the cukes with salt, don't over salt them.

3. 3

   Let stand 2 hours.

4. 4

   Rinse with cold water until no salt remains. Make sure you rinse salt out of cukes extremely well or the salty taste will stay.

5. 5

   Drain well and pat dry.

6. 6

   Thinly slice red onions and break apart rings.

7. 7

   In a separate bowl, mix sugar and oil, then add vinegar and water.

8. 8

   Add more sugar or vinegar if not sweet or sour enough.

9. 9

   It should have a nice tangy taste.

10. 10

    Add onions and cucumber to vinegar dressing.

11. 11

    Mix well.

12. 12

    Cover and refrigerate for a couple hours, stirring frequently to blend flavors.

13. 13

    Serve with steak, chicken, at a BBQ or with a deli style sandwich!

14. 14

    This doubles and even triples well! This makes alot of dressing for the cukes, but I like it that way so the cukes are totally immersed and absorb the flavor.

15. 15

    Edited to add: you can also add fresh dill weed to the vinegar dressing if you wish.
