Peel the cucumbers and cut them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and slice them into 1/4-inch half moons.
Peel the carrot and julienne it into thin strips.
In a small saucepan, combine white vinegar, water, erythritol, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the erythritol and salt. Once dissolved, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Peel the garlic cloves and ginger. Slice the garlic thinly and cut the ginger into thin strips.
Slice the red chilies into thin rings. If you prefer a less spicy pickle, remove the seeds before slicing.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, carrots, garlic, ginger, and chilies.
Pour the slightly cooled vinegar mixture over the vegetables, ensuring everything is well submerged. Give it a gentle stir to mix.
Transfer the mixture to a clean jar or airtight container.
Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a side dish or topping for grilled meats or curries.
