Salting the Sliced Vegetables
Add sliced matchstick veggies into a bowl.
Take 1 tbsp of kosher salt and salt the vegetables.
Allow these to dry brine for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, dump the purged water from the bowl and then rinse the vegetables.
Fill up a mason jar with as many matchstick carrots as possible.
3-4 cups julienned carrots
Making Brine Liquid
In a medium pot combine the listed ingredients - ensuring the sugar and salt are well combined.
1/4 cup rice vinegar, 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar, 4 tbsp white sugar, 1.5 tbsp kosher salt, 1/2 cup water
Bring this mixture to slight boil and then take off the heat.
Ladle or pour the brine liquid into the mason jar, filling up to the top.
Allow to cool and then cover with your lid.
Store in your refrigerator. Flavors will improve overnight.
This is for a small batch of brine.
If you need more brine liquid, make more until the mason jar is nearly full and covers the carrots.
