1 tablespoon 15mlVinegar - white
2 tablespoons 30mlSugar
1 teaspoon 5mlSalt
1/4 teaspoon 1.3mlWhite pepper

In a deep bowl stir the vinegar, sugar, salt and white pepper until well blended.

Peel onion, slice into lengthwise paper thin slices. Same with seeded red chile pepper.

Add the remaining ingredients, except the peanuts, and toss with the marinade.

Serve at once or cover and chill NO LONGER than 2 hours.

Top with the peanuts (whole or chopped) just before serving. Makes 1 cup

* Poster's personal note: I liked sliced cucumber much better.

Variations to try: thin slice onion and cucumber instead of julienne and increase vinegar to 2 tbs.

If regular salted peanuts are used, omit salt in marinate.
