Growing cucumbers at home and got lots of them waiting for a recipe or two? Try this simple fresh pickle, a great accompaniment to fish.
It is really for immediate consumption, though it should keep for a few weeks if stored in a cool, dark place.

Variations
Try different vinegars such as:
Peeling ginger
There is no need to peel ginger. As a result of attending a Thai cookery demo, we have learnt that peeling ginger is unnecessary unless for aesthetic purposes as the skin is high in fibre and full of flavour. However, do remove any bits that have become tough or woody.
