Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

In a large bowl, combine the warm water, rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir vigorously until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved. (Approximately 2 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Pack the julienned carrots and daikon radish tightly into a clean, sterilized glass jar or container. (Approximately 5 minutes)

03

Step
1 mins

Pour the vinegar mixture over the vegetables, ensuring they are fully submerged. If necessary, add a bit more water to completely cover. (Approximately 1 minute)

04

Step
72 hrs

Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving. For the best flavor, allow the pickles to mature for 3 days. (Refrigeration: 24-72 hours)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic or a few thin slices of ginger to the pickling brine.
Feel free to experiment with other vegetables, such as cucumber or red onion, for a colorful and diverse pickle mix.
Sterilizing the jar properly is crucial for preserving the pickles and preventing spoilage. Ensure the jar is thoroughly cleaned and boiled before use.
These pickles will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks, making them a convenient addition to your weekly meal prep.

    So easy to make, and way better than store-bought. I'll definitely be making this again.

    This recipe is fantastic! The pickles came out perfectly tangy and sweet, just like the ones I get in my favorite banh mi.
