Who this list is for
Set out this pickled carrot and daikon list when six bánh mì sandwiches are on the menu, or when several rice bowls need a crisp topping. The vegetables stay crisp after about an hour in the brine, which makes this useful for same-day cooking.
How to use this list
Start by checking for kosher salt, granulated sugar, rice vinegar, and water. Buy 12 ounces of daikon radish and three medium carrots, then cut both vegetables into similar thin pieces. Salt them as listed, then combine the sugar, rice vinegar, and water for the brine. Pack the vegetables, cover with brine, and allow the hour of chilling time.
Common mistakes
Do not plan this batch around ripe or soft carrots and daikon; the point is a crunchy bánh mì pickle. Avoid cutting one vegetable much thicker than the other, since uneven pieces will not have the same texture after the short brining time. This is a refrigerator pickle, not a shelf-stable jar.
What is on this list
You need daikon radish, carrots, kosher salt, granulated sugar, rice vinegar, and water. Cross off the sugar, salt, vinegar, and water you already have, then purchase firm daikon and three medium carrots.
Before you go
Count whether you are making all six bánh mì sandwiches or using the vegetables across rice bowls. The listed amounts make a defined batch, so scale only if your sandwich count or bowl count changes.
