Sweet and Sour Cucumber Relish (Taeng Kwa Brio Wan)
Toss the cucumber, onion and chili flakes together in
a bowl. In a small saucepan, over low heat, dissolve
the sugar in the water. Remove from heat and stir in
the vinegar and salt. Pour this mixture over the

This a is quick 'n' easy dish that's refreshing--good
for a barbecue on a hot summer day. Some of the
sucessful variations that I've tried have been: Rice
vinegar for white, add thinly sliced red or green hot
chilis, use palm sugar instead of granulated.
