    Red Onion – enhances the flavour of the pickles, and is delicious to enjoy with them.

    Salt – ensure you use cooking salt or sea salt, as regular table salt may contain caking agents and is much stronger. We use the salt in this recipe to draw out the excess moisture from the cucumbers and soften the red onions.

    Rice Wine Vinegar – a delicately flavoured, slightly sweet vinegar, perfect for pickling, especially with the spices we use in this recipe.

    Sugar – regular granulated sugar works fine. It helps to preserve the pickles and balances the flavour. Caster/Superfine sugar is also fine to use.

    Star Anise – a spice that is warming, slightly sweet with a hint of licorice.

    Chilli Flakes – these Spicy Pickled Cucumbers get their heat from delicious dried chilli/red pepper flakes. Add more to your liking if you wish!
