Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Carrots
- 1 medium Daikon radish
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Distilled white vinegar
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Peel the carrots and daikon radish. Slice them into thin matchsticks or use a julienne peeler for uniform strips.
Place the sliced carrots and daikon in a medium bowl. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of salt over them and mix thoroughly using your hands. Let sit for 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
After 15 minutes, rinse the carrots and daikon under cold water to remove the salt. Drain thoroughly and gently squeeze out any excess water using your hands or a clean kitchen towel.
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, distilled white vinegar, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved. Remove from heat and let the brine cool to room temperature.
Place the drained carrots and daikon into a clean jar or container with a tight-fitting lid. Pour the cooled brine over the vegetables, ensuring they are completely submerged.
Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. For best flavor, allow the pickle to sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
Store the pickle in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and enjoy as a tangy accompaniment to your meals.
