Equipment

handheld mandolin

Ingredients

½ cup hot water
½ cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 medium red onion thinly sliced

Instructions

Add hot water, white vinegar, granulated sugar, and kosher salt into a heat-proof jar and stir to combine until the sugar and salt are dissolved.
Add the red onions into the jar until the mixture covers the onions.
Let the onions sit in the pickling liquid for at least 30 minutes before serving, but preferably for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
When ready to serve, remove onions with a fork or slotted spoon and use them in your favorite recipes.

Notes

I suggest using a mandolin to get thin sliced red onions.
These pickled onions can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
