Cooking Instructions for making Pickled Carrots and Daikon (Long White Radish)
Julliene or cut carrots into thin matchsticks. See pic below.
Peel radish/daikon. Julliene or cut into thin matchsticks. See pic below.
A. CARROTS & DAIKON (RADISH)
Place carrots and daikon (long white radish) in a big mixing bowl. Combine and mix all ingredients in A; salt, sugar, carrots & radish. Toss well. Leave to marinate for 15mins.
B. PICKLE SOLUTION
Heat up 1 cup of water for 5mins or until it’s warm. This helps to dissolve the sugar easily. Remove from the heat. Add 1 cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir or whisk until sugar is fully dissolved.
Add 1 cup of white vinegar to sugar solution. Stir to mix. Keep aside.
Notes:
1. We use double strength white vinegar. See pic below.
2. Adjust sugar and vinegar to your liking as some like it slightly sour and some like it slightly sweet but still have the balance taste of both sweet and sour.
Next. Return to marinated carrots and radish. By now, it’s kind of watery and both carrots and radish are soft. See pic below. Drain the liquid.
Place in a colander and run under running water. Lightly squeeze to remove any excess water or liquid.
Transfer carrots and radish in a clean jar. Pour pickle solution into the jar.
Leave to pickle for a day. Pickle is ready to eat the next day or two. Kept well in the refrigerator. Serve on burgers, noodles, salad, vietnamese buns and dishes.
