Equipment

  • Pot
  • Glass Jar

Ingredients

  • 2 cups or 200 g red onion peeled, and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup or 8fl oz water
  • ½- 1 cup 4-8 fl oz white vinegar
  • 2-3 tbsp or 25.20-37.80 g granulated sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic smashed
  • 2 tsp or 34.14 g salt
  • 2 tsp or 4.66 g black peppercorns cracked
  • ½ tsp or 1.65 g pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp or 3 g mustard seed
  • 1 sprig thyme optional

Instructions

  • Peel and thinly slice onions to make onion rings then set aside.
  • Add all the ingredients together (except the onions) in a pot and bring the mixture to a simmer for 8 minutes. Then quickly blanch the onion rings in the hot vinegar mixture.
  • Then transfer the onions in a glass jar. Pour the simmered vinegar mixture over the onions once it’s cooled down.
  • Put the lid on and store it in the refrigerator. I recommend eating pickled onions after a day of preservation.
