Would be great if recipes were clear on what is meant by "large onion" and "large cucumber" - I had to double the liquid. I also sliced the cuke rather than chunked it and used less sugar, since rice vinegar already has sugar added. Tasty with a tuna melt.

Well, a large onion is bigger than a medium onion, but not as big as a very large onion. Same applies to cucumbers. Hope this helps!

Simple and really tasty. Goes great with curries etc.

This was delicious. But I added red wine instead of the Japanese wine and 1/2 cup of large Risoni and a couple of small tomatoes to give it extra coulour.

This worked well with white vinegar (didn't have japanese), and I added a little chopped dill just before serving. A very refreshing accompaniment to a curry
