Ingredients
-
1/2 cup sugar, sub. splenda
-
1/4 cup water
-
1 tablespoon sambal oelek or 1 tablespoon thai chili-garlic sauce
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 -2 English cucumber, unpeeled slice thin
-
1/4 cup red onion, sliced thin
-
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
-
3 tablespoons chopped peanuts, garnish, I rarely use it

1/2 cup rice wine vinegar, sub red wine vinegar
Instructions
- In a saucepan: combine sugar, vinegar, water, chili pepper sauce and salt. Stir, cook over low-medium heat until sugar dissolved.
- Pour warm mixture over prepared cucumbers, onions and cilantro.
- Refrigerate until ready to eat. At least one hour cooling is best. Longer works too.
- Just before serving, sprinkle with additional cilantro & peanuts if using.
- I doubled the amount of cucumber but did not double the vinegar - sugar marinade.
