Start by taking 2-3 large cucumbers.

Cut the cucumbers about an inch below the level of the jar you plan to fill with brine.

Use one cucumber to measure the rest for consistent size.

Scrape out the seeds from the cucumber halves using a spoon.

Slice the cucumbers lengthwise into sticks that fit neatly in the jar.

Fill the jar with the cucumber sticks, packing them tightly.

Pour plain water into the jar to measure how much brine you'll need, then dump it out.

Measure out 1.5 cups of rice wine vinegar to fill the jar to the same level.

Add 2 tablespoons of salt and 2 tablespoons of sugar to the vinegar and stir to dissolve.

Crush 2 cloves of garlic and add them to the jar along with 1 tablespoon of mustard seeds.

Pour the vinegar brine into the jar, filling it to the top.

Seal the jar and let it sit for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight for better flavor.
