Step 1
First, make the pickling liquid. Add the sugar to a large measuring cup or heatproof bowl, and then pour in the hot boiling water. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Stir in the white vinegar and rice vinegar, and allow to cool to room temperature.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add the daikon and carrot sticks, and add the salt. Toss well, and let the vegetables sit in the salt for 15-20 minutes. This draws the water out of them, making them crunchier after pickling.
Step 3
Toss the vegetables again, and then rinse under running water. Drain and gently shake off the excess liquid, then transfer the vegetables to the bowl of pickling liquid. Press the vegetables down into the liquid, cover the bowl, and refrigerate. Let sit for 24 hours for a fresher taste, 48 hours for a more pickled taste (we prefer a 48 hour pickle), or up to 10 days.
