Hey Fellow Foodies - I need some help constructing or should I say deconstructing a Y&Y recipe. I asked the waiter for the pickled cucumber recipe and was politely told no - as they weren't a Disney restaurant and were owned by Rain Forest, they had a policy not to share recipes.
So how about a challenge - can y'all help me re-create the recipe?
This is what I have thus far -
English cucumbers
Rice Vinegar
a little sugar
Red pepper flakes
Sesame oil?

Picking salt. It's extra fine and dissolves completely.

No on the oil.

Garlic. Whole or chopped.

Red onions. Sliced.

Whole peppercorns.

Whole mustard seed.

Cloves.

Thanks! I should also mention these pickled cucumbers are not "preserved" they are fresh - very similar to a Japanese way of preparing pickled cucumbers -

Yep, I know what you mean. You simply "pickle" them with no heat, and for only about 24-48 hours.
