Quick Pickled Carrots and Daikon are a sweet and sour vegetable condiment most commonly used on the Vietnamese banh mi sandwich. The root vegetables are cut, brined, and can be eaten almost immediately. Their flavors will deepen with a few days in the refrigerator and can be enjoyed as you would any pickled vegetable.

Quick Pickled Carrots and Daikon

When you eat a Vietnamese banh mi sandwich, or my Veggie Quinoa Banh Mi Bowls, no doubt you’re enjoying a gorgeous mix of flavors that make your taste buds dance to the tunes of savory, spicy, sweet, salty, and sour.

What other sandwich on the planet delivers such a full range of flavors? Just yum!

Quick pickled carrots and daikon make up the sweet and sour flavors in that gorgeous stack of ingredients.

The vegetables gain their flavor from a vinegar brine, so probably a little sour to eat straight from a jar (unless you’re a weirdo like me).

But, as a condiment on a banh mi sandwich, or my Veggie Quinoa Banh Mi Bowls, or really any Asian entree...they are heavenly!

What I LOVE about Quick Pickled Carrots and Daikon...or quick pickled anything:

  • The finished product is in your hands in under 30 minutes, and becomes even more awesome with some quality time in the fridge.
  • No need to use a hot water canning method...just whip these up anytime you need them.
  • Enjoy them on any Vietnamese foods that call for that sweet and sour flavah...like my Chicken Banh Mi Sliders or Veggie Banh Mi Bowls.

How do you make Quick Pickled Carrots and Daikon?

Step 1: Shred the carrots and daikon (I use this julienne cutting tool...so easy!)

Step 2: Then I use a standard vegetable peeler to make these carrot ribbons.

Boom...done in five minutes!

    Hi Traci! It’s Amelia-I met you in Gualala at S & K’s Log Cabin Ranch. I am making teriyaki rice bowls with veggie toppings & this recipe is the perfect complement. I like dancing like a teenager, cooking & singing harmony too…we should do it together!!!
