Quick Pickled Carrots and Daikon
Description
This quick pickled side uses 10 ounces of Korean or daikon radish and 7 ounces of carrots, both julienned for bite-sized crispness. The brine consists of equal parts water, white sugar, and apple cider vinegar (or rice vinegar), spiked with a pinch of salt. Boiling the brine ensures the sugar dissolves fully, creating a syrupy liquid that infuses the vegetables.
After pouring cooled brine over the vegetables in a sterile jar and closing it, the pickling process begins at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours. This step allows the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften slightly while maintaining crunch. Refrigerating for 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving cools the pickles and deepens flavor.
This pickle serves as a refreshing, tangy accompaniment to various meals and can be made quickly compared to traditional fermentation methods.
Volume measurements used are 1 tablespoon = 15 ml and 1 cup = 250 ml.

- 300 g Korean radish or daikon radish (10 ounces), julienned
- 200 g carrot 7 ounces), julienned
Pickle brine
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar (or rice vinegar)

- Place the julienned radishes and carrots into a sterile pickling jar and pour over the brine. Close the lid. Gently move the jar around a little bit to make sure the brine is touching the all radishes and carrots.
