I love love LOVE pickles. And I love love LOVE ginger. And cucumbers go bad fast, so I decided to make some "quickles" aka quick pickles. Basically these are refrigerator pickles. You slice the cucumber (and onion in this case) and then soak them in a brine in the fridge. I don't bother going through the canning process, mostly because I'm lazy and afraid of botulism.
1 cucumber sliced
1 half sweet onion sliced
1/2 cup mirin (sweet rice seasoning)
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp grated ginger
1 tsp five spice powder
1/2 tsp salt
combine the liquid in a jar, then layer the pickles and onions and toss in the fridge. The longer they soak the more flavorful they get.
