Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups carrots julienned (about 3–4 medium carrots)
  • 1 cup rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • ½ cup water
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp fresh ginger thinly sliced or julienned
  • 1 clove garlic sliced (optional)
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Peel and julienne carrots into thin matchsticks. Place in a clean, heatproof jar.
  • In a small saucepan, combine vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and ginger. Heat over medium until sugar dissolves (about 3–4 minutes).
  • Pour the hot brine over the carrots, making sure they are fully submerged.
  • Let cool to room temperature, then seal and refrigerate.
  • Allow at least 1 hour for flavors to develop, but best after 24 hours. Sprinkle sesame seeds before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • Keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
  • Add chili flakes for spice, or swap carrots with daikon radish for a twist.
  • Great in banh mi sandwiches, sushi rolls, grain bowls, or as a crunchy snack.
