How to Make Carrot Daikon Pickle

  1. Wash and peel the carrots and daikon radish. Using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife, julienne the carrots and daikon into thin, matchstick-like pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the julienned carrots and daikon with the rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Gently toss to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the pickling mixture.
  4. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour, to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it sits, the more flavorful it will become.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more sugar for sweetness, salt for saltiness, or red pepper flakes for heat.
  6. To store leftovers (optional): Add an additional 1/4 cup of rice vinegar to ensure the vegetables are fully submerged. Stir well and transfer to an airtight glass jar or container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
