  <short_description>One quick pickle</short_description>
  <long_description>A sweet-salty pickle that's ready in about an hour.</long_description>
  <introduction>
    <![CDATA[<p>Tender Kirby cucumbers take no time at all to pickle, and this recipe from <a href="/stories/10852/13">Chef David Chang</a> of <a href="/places/4436">Momofuku</a> is a perfect example. These sweet, salty pickles are ready in about an hour.</p>


	<p><strong>Game plan:</strong> If you have a mandoline and are comfortable using it, this is a perfect time to pull it out because it&#8217;ll help you get uniformly thin slices.</p>


	<p>The pickle will last up to 1 month when refrigerated in a covered container.</p>]]>
