Pickled Carrots and Daikon
Report
Although they're traditionally eaten as part of a Japanese New Year's Osechi meal, these easy pickled carrots and daikon make for a refreshing side salad or condiment for sandwiches like Banh Mi.

Ingredients
- 450 grams daikon
- 50 grams carrot (I used a red carrot)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup vinegar
- 2 tablespoons cane sugar evaporated
- 2 grams konbu (1-inch square)
- yuzu (or Meyer lemon)
Instructions
- Julienne the carrots and daikon. How you cut them affects the pickles' texture, so see the section on cutting root vegetables in the headnotes above.
- Sprinkle the daikon and carrots with the salt and toss to distribute evenly. Set this aside for at least 15 minutes to allow the excess water to come out of the vegetables.
- Add the vinegar, sugar, and konbu to a small non-reactive saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil. Turn off the heat and let it cool down to room temperature. Leave the konbu in the vinegar until it has cooled, and then remove and discard.
- When the carrots and daikon are limp, drain off all of the excess liquid from the vegetables and add the cooled vinegar mixture. Stir to combine.
- Grate some yuzu zest into the Namasu. This can be served immediately but will keep for up to a week in the refrigerator.
