Instructions

Clean and sterilize a large (3 C) glass mason jar.
Place the carrots and daikon into a colander with 1 teaspoon of coarse pickling salt (if you don't have that, use kosher salt). Gently massage the salt into vegetables for about 1 minute. Set aside for 5 minutes.
The vegetables will have produced some liquid. Gently press the vegetables against the colander to remove the excess moisture.
Use clean chopsticks to place the carrots and daikon into the sterilized jar.
In a small saucepan, add ½ C granulated sugar, 1 C of water, and ½ C white vinegar. Heat over medium heat until the mixture comes to a rolling boil. Give it a whisk to dissolve all the sugar.
Carefully pour the hot liquid into the jar with the carrot and daikon. Ensure that the vegetables are submerged in the vinegar-sugar solution.
Cover the jar with a piece of parchment paper (to avoid any reaction with the vinegar to the metal from the lid) and tightly seal with the lid.
Store in the refrigerator. Do Chua is ready to eat after 30 minutes, but will taste better after storage for a week.

Notes

Do Chua may be used on banh mi sandwiches, or in bun vermicelli bowls.
