Instructions

1. Wash the cucumber, radishes, and green onion; thinly slice the cucumber and radishes, then place them in a heatproof bowl or pint jar with the sliced green onion and grated ginger.
2. Set a small saucepan on the stove and combine the rice vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and soy sauce.
3. Bring the brine just to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt fully dissolve, then remove it from the heat.
4. Pour the hot brine over the cucumber and radishes, pressing the vegetables down so they are mostly submerged.
5. Let the pickles stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, then refrigerate for 25 minutes to chill and lightly pickle.
6. Drain lightly if desired, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, and serve cold in a small bowl alongside grilled cookout mains.
