Pungent warning: These pickles will be more pungent/stinky the longer you brine them. You can eat them the next day, but if you want them more flavorful and crispy, brine them longer which also makes them more pungent! Taste the brine before you finish the final pickles. If you like your pickles more sweet, add a few teaspoons of sugar. Personalizing these pickles to your taste will make them extra special.

This Vietnamese Pickled Daikon Radish and Carrots is one of those pickled vegetable staples you can easily prepare to store and enjoy with a variety of Vietnamese dishes—from bun cha bowls, bánh mì, and so much more.

As a regular accouterment of Vietnamese cuisine, pickled daikon and carrots are great as a little side nibble with your rice and meat dishes or as an addition to your salad. The crunchy texture, and sweet and sour taste adds that extra little touch to your meal. You might have tried a Vietnamese ‘banh mi’ sandwich before, and this is one of the essential ingredients to complete the full banh mi experience.
