Daikon & Carrot Pickle

Recipe from New York Times


Yield: 3 cups

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 1 hour to marinate
 


Ingredients


1 large carrot, peeled and cut into thick matchsticks or cubes
1 pound daikon radishes, peeled and cut
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons + ½ cup sugar
1¼ cups distilled white vinegar
 


Instructions

Place carrots and daikon in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and 2 teaspoons sugar. Knead vegetables for about 3 minutes, expelling water from them (this will keep them crisp). Stop kneading when vegetables have lost about ¼ of their volume.
 

Drain in a colander and rinse under cold running water, then press gently to expel extra water.
 

Return vegetables to bowl, or transfer to a glass container for longer storage.
 

In a small bowl, combine ½ cup sugar, the vinegar and 1 cup lukewarm water, and stir to dissolve sugar. Pour over vegetables. Let marinate at least 1 hour.
 


Notes


Refrigerate for up to 4 weeks
