These pickles have a slow heat. If you like some heat, you'll love them. They always go fast, even just as a snack!

Ingredients

• 2 fresh red Thai chiles, seeded and sliced thin
• 2 mint leaves, chopped
• 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar

Preparation

Step 1

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Let sit for at least 1 hour for the flavors to blend. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Will keep in the refrigerator for 3 days.
