How to Make Pickled Carrot Radish

  1. Combine 1 pound peeled and julienned carrots and 1 pound peeled and julienned daikon radish in a medium bowl.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons kosher salt and gently toss to coat. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  3. Transfer the carrot and radish mixture to a fine-mesh sieve or colander and rinse thoroughly under cold water.
  4. Gently squeeze out as much excess water as possible. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect crisp-tender texture.
  5. Transfer the drained carrot and radish to a clean medium bowl.
  6. Add ½ cup granulated sugar and ½ cup rice vinegar (or white vinegar).
  7. Toss gently to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the sugar-vinegar mixture.
  8. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully develop. The longer it marinates, the more intense the flavor will be!
  9. Serve chilled. Enjoy as a vibrant side dish, a topping for banh mi sandwiches, or a delightful addition to your favorite dipping sauces.
