  • 2 small carrots (about 10 oz / 300 g)

  • 3/4 cup distilled vinegar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Peel the daikon and carrots. Cut the daikon into 1/3” (1 cm) thick rounds, then cut each round into four equal fan-shaped pieces. Cut the carrot into 1/4” (6 mm) rounds, then slice each round into half moon pieces. Place the daikon and carrots in a colander, run under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes the daikon’s funky smell, and prevents the carrots from tinting the daikon orange. Drain well and move to a heat-proof bowl or container you plan to store the pickles.
  2. Add the rice vinegar and distilled vinegar into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Once vigorously boiling, add the sugar and salt, stirring with a whisk until fully dissolved.
  3. Pour the boiling hot pickling liquid over the daikon and carrots. (*Footnote 2) Marinate for at least 1 hour before eating, or overnight for a better flavor. Once the brine cools off completely, store the pickles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

  • The combo of Japanese rice vinegar and distilled vinegar mimics Chinese white vinegar, which is fruitier than distilled vinegar but more pungent than Japanese rice vinegar. It creates a brine that has the sour taste coming through while maintaining a fruity note.
  • The brine will not cover all the ingredients at the beginning. But once the daikon and carrot sit in it for a while, they will release enough liquid so the brine covers everything.
