300 g beets, peeled and thinly sliced
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
1/3 cup water
1/4 tsp salt
Place beets in a glass bowl or jar.
Combine sugar with vinegar, water and salt in a small saucepan set over medium-high. Boil until sugar is dissolved, 1 min.
Pour vinegar mixture over beets. Let cool slightly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hrs, or overnight, before serving.
Use a mandoline to thinly slice beets. If you don’t have one, carefully slice them as thinly as you can with a sharp knife.
