Quick Pickled Carrots And Daikon Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine daikon, carrots and jalapenos. In a saucepan, bring water, vinegar, sugar, salt and, if desired, liquid smoke to a boil. Simmer until sugar dissolves. Pour mixture over vegetables, ensuring vegetables are submerged; cool. Transfer to jars, if desired; cover tightly. Refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hour before serving. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, stirring occasionally.

Steps:

• Thinly slice the vegetables on a mandolin and set aside.
• Combine the brine ingredients in a medium sized, non reactive pot. Bring to a boil. Taste (do not inhale over the pot, the vinegar will make you cough) and adjust spices to please your palate.
• Add the sliced vegetables. Stir to combine and remove from the heat.
• Fill prepared jars. Wipe rims and apply lids. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Adjust time according to your altitude.

Steps:

• To make the pickled vegetables: In a bowl, toss together the carrots, cucumbers, daikon, vinegar, sugar and salt and let stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the pork. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon scallions and 1 to 2 tablespoons chili sauce, to taste. Cover tightly and set aside.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons scallions and the garlic. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add pork and cook, breaking up with a fork, until no longer pink, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon chili sauce and the fish sauce, pepper, salt and sugar. Remove from heat and stir in the basil, lime zest and lime juice. Let cool 5 minutes, then add mayonnaise mixture.
• Fill bread with pork mixture. Press the jalapeño, mint and cilantro sprigs into the pork. Spoon some pickled vegetables onto the sandwiches and serve any extra alongside.

Steps:

• Place daikon radish, carrots, onion, jalapeño, and garlic in large bowl and toss with salt. Let stand 1 hour, and then drain well. Transfer to 4-cup jar or plastic container.
• Bring vinegar, sugar, and 1/2 cup water to a simmer in small saucepan over high heat. Stir until sugar dissolves. Pour vinegar mixture over vegetables.
• Cover, and refrigerate 3 hours.

Steps:

• Using the slicing disk of a food processor or a very sharp knife, slice the daikon into paper-thin disks. Use a knife to cut the disks into long, very thin strips. Slice the carrot lengthwise into very thin slices, and cut each slice into very thin strips.
• In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar, sugar and salt and mix until the sugar has dissolved. Add the daikon and carrot and toss. Serve at room temperature along with barbecued meat.

Steps:

• Combine water, vinegar, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Stir until salt and sugar have dissolved.
• Place carrots and daikon in a sterile jar. Pour vinegar mixture on top until vegetables are completely covered. Seal jar and refrigerate for at least 1 day, ideally 3 days.
