Quick Pickled Green Onions
Prepare yourself for a flavor adventure that’s so easy, you’ll wonder why you didn’t start pickling sooner! These pickled green onions are the perfect condiment for tacos, sandwiches, salads, or even straight out of the jar—no judgment here!
Ingredients:
- 1 bunch green onions (also known as scallions)
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup rice vinegar (trust me, it’s the good stuff!)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (because who can resist a little sweetness?)
- 1 teaspoon salt (not the total amount, just a sprinkle!)
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for those who like it spicy!)
Instructions:
- Start by giving those green onions a good rinse. We want them clean and ready to party!
- Next, chop the green onions into about 1-inch pieces. If you want to go wild, leave them whole. Who are we to hold back creativity?
- In a medium saucepan, combine the water, rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and red pepper flakes. Bring this mix to a gentle boil, stirring until the sugar and salt are dissolved. It’s like a dance party for your ingredients!
- Once bubbling, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. We’re not trying to cook the onions here—just give them a nice warm bath.
- Pack those lovely chopped onions into a clean jar or two. Once the vinegar mixture has cooled down a bit (we don’t want a pickle burn!), pour it over the onions until they’re fully submerged.
- Seal up the jar and pop it in the fridge. Let them marinate for at least an hour—overnight is even better if you can stand the wait!
- When you’re ready to enjoy, grab a fork (or your fingers, no judgment!) and add these zesty green toppers to your favorite dishes.
And there you have it! Quick Pickled Green Onions that are ready to elevate your culinary creations to legendary status. Now go forth and pickle like a pro!
