Notes

Recipe Notes:
  • Pickled onions can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a month.
  • For a milder flavor, soak the onions in cold water for 30 minutes before pickling.
  • Use a clean and sterile jar or container to store the pickled onions to prevent spoilage.
 
Special Tips:
  • Add some sliced garlic or ginger to the vinegar mixture before pickling the onions for an extra flavorful twist.
  • For a different taste, try using different types of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar.
  • Use a mandoline to slice the onions thinly and evenly, for the best texture and flavor.
