Do Chua - Vietnamese Pickled Carrots & Daikon! Whether you’re topping a banh mi or spicing up a bun salad, these pickled veggies are sure to become a staple in your kitchen.
Cut the carrot and daikon into matchsticks. Place them in a bowl with salt and massage briefly by hand. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then rinse under cold water and drain well.
In a bowl, dissolve the sugar in hot water, then stir in the vinegar.
Place the vegetables in a clean mason jar (16oz) and pour the brine over them, making sure they are fully submerged.
Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 12 hours. The flavors will develop more as it sits, so it’s worth the wait! → If in a hurry, it's ok to use them after 2 hours.
Notes
