Office Ec (aka office sciences): Pickles

Our IT guy Will gave me a great idea for a home project, which turned into an office project: pickles. Five simple ingredients: Rice wine vinegar, hot water, sugar, salt and cucumbers. The recipe comes from David Chang's Momofuku Cookbook. You’ll need: 1-quart mason jar, 2 large cucumbers, 1 cup of hot water, 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar, 6 tablespoons sugar, 2 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt and voila, that's it. Slice the cucumbers about ¼ inch thick and place in mason jar. Mix the hot water, sugar and salt till they dissolve. Add the vinegar and pour mixture over cucumbers in mason jar. Refrigerate for three to seven days. The pickles last a month.  It took me about 3 minutes to do this in our office kitchen. You can use other veggies too, radishes, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers and even watermelon rind. Deep fried pickles are delicious, by the way. 

(Side note. The picture looks funny because I used Hipstamatic on my iPhone for the picture.)

The best food ideas in the office are usually the most simple. A slow cooker is one of those the kitchen gadgets that can feed your office with minimal effort.

I suppose that like pickled vegetables such as sauerkraut, sour pickled cucumbers (technically a fruit) are low in calories
