Here’s what our delicious pickled carrots look like!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of julienned carrots
- 1 cup of rice vinegar
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1 cup of water
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
- Optional: A few slices of ginger or garlic for added flavor
Instructions:
- Start by washing and peeling the carrots. Julienne them into thin matchstick shapes for better texture.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, water, and salt. Heat this mixture over medium heat until the sugar and salt dissolve completely. It’s okay if it doesn’t boil; we just want to mix everything nicely!
- If you’re using ginger or garlic, add them to the vinegar mixture now to infuse their flavors.
- Once the mixture is ready, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. We don’t want it boiling hot when we pour it over the carrots!
- Next, place the julienned carrots into a clean jar or a bowl. Pour the cooled vinegar mixture over the carrots, ensuring they are fully submerged. You can press them down with a spoon if needed.
- Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate for at least one hour. For best results, let them sit overnight – the flavors will intensify, and you’ll have an even tastier treat!
And that’s it! These Asian Quick Pickled Carrots are ready to be enjoyed. They pair perfectly with rice dishes, sandwiches, or as a crunchy snack on their own. Enjoy making and savoring this delightful recipe!
