Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Thinly slice the onions and add them to a glass jar.
In a small pot, add the water, vinegar, salt and sugar and bring to a simmer on medium heat. Stir until the sugar and salt have dissolved. This should take 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Pour the mixture into the jar, covering the onions fully. Let it cool to room temperature before sealing the jar and transferring it into the fridge.
Leave the onions in the fridge for at least 1 hour for them to turn bright pink, then they are ready to serve!

Notes

I use distilled vinegar in my recipe but you can try apple cider vinegar, rice vinegar or even a mix!
You can add your own touch. A few black peppercorns or some garlic cloves go beautifully with the onions and bring a new layer of flavor. Even mustard seeds, fennel seeds and herbs work well.
To make this recipe even quicker, you can simply add all the ingredients into the jar directly without heating it in the pan. Simply heat water in a kettle, wait for it to cool slightly and add it to a clean jar with the onions, vinegar, salt and sugar. Stir to combine and dissolve, and place in the fridge.
