Spicy Cucumber Quick Pickles

• 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/3 cup rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon red curry paste
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 carrot, julienne
• 1 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup cilantro, roughly chopped

1. In a colander, toss the cucumber slices with the salt. Let sit for 15-20 minutes. Squeeze the cucumebers gently to remove excess liquid.
2. In a large bowl, combine the vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, curry paste, and garlic. Add the cucumbers, carrots, and onions and toss to combine.
3. Refrigerate the mixture, and let sit, tossing occasionally for at least 2 hours and up to 2-3 days. The mixture will keep refrigerated for up to 5 days - the flavor will continue to intensify as it sits. When ready to eat, add the cilantro and toss to combine.
