In a heatproof bowl or jug, combine salt and sugar, then pour in 500 mL of freshly boiled water. Stir until completely dissolved.
Add the vinegar to the hot water and mix well.
Pour the hot brine over the vegetables. Mix everything thoroughly and press down so the veggies are fully submerged.
Let it sit at room temperature for 5–6 hours, then refrigerate overnight.
