Daikon and carrot pickle from The Banh Mi Handbook: Recipes for Crazy-Delicious Vietnamese Sandwiches by Andrea Nguyen

  • distilled vinegar
    "Distilled vinegar, also known as virgin vinegar, can be made from just about any vinegar – for instance: rice, malt, wine, fruit, balsamic, apple cider, kiwifruit, rice, coconut, palm, cane, raisin, date, beer, honey, kombucha, and much more. As its name suggests, this vinegar is distilled from ethanol. ‘Distilled’ plainly means that the liquid component is separated from the base mixture. This produces a colorless solution with 5-8% acetic acid in the water – relatively weaker than white or spirit vinegar." http://www.differencebetween.net/object/comparisons-of-food-items/difference-between-white-and-distilled-vinegar/

    I love this pickle! It's nice added to bowls and salads as well as on banh mi. If you can get your hands on some purple daikon, it makes for a gorgeous dark orange and fuchsia colored pickle, one of the prettiest pickles I've ever made.

    I love quick pickles. This one is good, easy, quick, and uses white vinegar. I use it when I have extra veg from my garden; tastes great with barbecued meats as well as in bahn mi.

    I went with western radishes as my husband doesn't like pickled daikon and it worked a treat. Very tasty and easy.

    Very typical of Asian style pickled salads and the taste was fine. Very nice topping for bahn mi and grilled meats and fish.
