- 1 teaspoon, organic sugar
- 1 cup, rice vinegar (Unseasoned)

- 2 clove, peeled garlic
- 1/4 ounce, peeled ginger (Sliced)
- 1 each, jalapeno
Instructions
- Cut carrots and daikon into 1/8" thick x 2-3" long
- In a medium-size pot, add kosher salt, organic sugar, rice vinegar, water, garlic, ginger, and jalapeno.
- Bring the pot to a simmer.
- Take the pot off the heat.
- Add cut carrots and daikon.
