Ever wanted to get into pickling but just don't know where to start? This is the absolute perfect place to begin! This easy all-purpose pickling solution will have you pickling up a storm. All you need is to remember the magic ratio: 3-2-1.
This Asian-style pickling solution can also be tweaked if you like your pickles less sweet. You can add whatever seasonings you enjoy, such as dill, bay leaf, tri-peppercorn, szechuan peppercorn, smoked salt, and more!
Pickle anything from cucumbers, radishes, onions, daikon, carrots, parsnips, ginger, beets, etc.. The possibilities are endless. These pickles are great as side dishes to k-bbq, j-bbq, and American bbq. They're great with sandwiches, salads, burgers, and toast!

Recipe details
Ingredients
- 3 parts sugar (granulated, caster, etc...)
- 2 parts water (warm)
- 1 part vinegar (white, rice, apple cider)
- seasoning optional (dill, bay leaf, tri-peppercorn, szechuan peppercorn etc...)
Instructions
- Dissolve the sugar in the warm water.
- Add the vinegar and stir until combined.
- Stuff a jar with your desired vegetables.

- Fridge the pickles for 24 hours. You can eat them in less than 24 hours, but they are best 24 hours and beyond.
Tips
- Scaling: the best part about this recipe is that you can scale up as much as you need! I usually start with 1/4 cp vinegar, 1/2 cp water, 3/4 cp sugar and go from there.
