1 tablespoons chopped long red chili (or jalapeño, serrano or finger pepper)
1 pinches salt
1 tablespoons chopped shallot
1 tablespoons chopped garlic
1/2 cups vegetable oil
1 cups coconut water (fresh or canned)
1 cups white vinegar
1 cups water
1 cups cauliflower, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cups diced cucumber
1 cups shredded cabbage
1 cups corn kernels
1 pinches salt
1 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
Thai Spicy Mixed Vegetable Pickle Directions
Make a smooth paste by pounding the chili, salt, shallot and garlic with a mortar and pestle.
In a large pan, heat the oil until hot. Add the paste and fry until fragrant. Add the coconut water, vinegar and water and bring to a boil.
Add the vegetables in the order they appear and boil for 1 minute, until wilted—be careful not to overcook them. Add the sugar and, if needed, more salt.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds. This is best used immediately, but will keep in a lidded container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
