Ingredients for Vietnamese Pickled Carrots and Daikon:
Carrots - 5 medium (peeled and cut into matchsticks)
Daikon radish - 2 lbs (peeled and cut into matchsticks)
Sugar - 1 cup plus 4 tsp.
Salt - 2 tsp.
Warm water - 2 cups
White vinegar - 2 1/2 cups

  1. Place the vegetables into a big bowl. Sprinkle 4 tsp of sugar and 2 tsp of salt over them and massage the sugar and salt into the veggies until they're well coated.
