2 to 3 cucumbers 1 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
Slice cucumbers in half. Remove the seeds if they are large. Slice in thin diagonals. Sprinkle with the 1 tablespoon of salt and place in a bowl. Let stand for 20 minutes. Rinse, drain, and remove excess water by putting the cucumbers in a kitchen towel and squeezing out the water. Combine the sugar, vinegar, remaining salt, and ginger. Pour over the cucumbers and chill.
