Notes
- Slice the raw red onions thin on a Mandolin slicer or the slicer blade on your food processor to keep them all the same thickness.
- Try with rice vinegar or Mirin. instead of white vinegar.
- For some heat, toss in some red pepper flakes or sliced jalapeño peppers.
- Let them sit for at least 24 hours before eating them to allow the pickling flavors to penetrate the onion layers.
