INGREDIENTS
- ▢1/2 lb (226.8 g) daikon radish 
- ▢1/2 lb (226.8 g) carrots 
- ▢1 tbsp salt 
VINEGAR SOLUTION
- ▢1/2 c boiling water 
- ▢5 tbsp granulated white sugar 
- ▢1 cup water 
- ▢4 tbsp distilled vinegar 
INSTRUCTIONS
- Peel daikon and radishes, then cut with mandolin slicer medium to small matchsticks. Smaller cuts will pickle faster. 
- In a large bowl, sprinkle with salt evenly and toss to coat. Soak for 15 minutes. 
- Rinse thoroughly to remove the salt and in small handfulls, squeeze to remove as much moister as you can. 
- Add to jars, filling almost to the top. 
VINEGAR SOLUTION
- Boil water then add sugar, mix to dissolve, then add vinegar. 
- Add the liquid to jars to fully submerge daikon & carrots. Add extra water if needed to cover the veggies. 
- Screw on the lids, store at room temperature until pickled to your taste, checking every 12 or 24 hours. It usually takes 2-5 days depending on the temperature. 
- Refrigerate when ready, for up to 3 weeks, or until too sour or veggies lose their crunch.

Hungry Huy says: I prefer the taste of daikon to the carrots in this. You can mix up the ratios of each to your own liking. I like around 85% daikon and 15% carrots.
