CUCUMBERS AND RED PEPPER SALAD

3 Medium cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced
2 Teaspoons Kosher Salt
1/2 Cup Rice Vinegar, seasoned or regular
1/2 Cup Water
3 Tablespoons Sugar
1/4 Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
2 Tablespoons Minced Red Onion

In a strainer place the cucumber slices and put in a bowl to drain. Salt the cucumbers and toss well. Let sit in ref. for 1 hour. Prepare the marinade.
Combine the vinegar, water and sugar and the red pepper in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook until it is reduced to around 1/3 cup. Cook for around 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the onion. Let this cool to room temp. Take the cucumbers out of the ref. They should be drained. Draining them pulls the mositure out of them so they will be crisp. Mix the marinade with the cucumbers. Put in ref. until ready to serve. Best if let sit a few hours in the ref. for the flavors to combine.
