Add 1 tablespoon of salt to veggies and mix in thoroughly. Let it sit for an hour in the fridge.
Using a small saucepan, add all the vinegar mix ingredients and bring it to a boil to melt the sugar. Turn off heat. Put vinegar mix in the freezer for one hour so it’s ice cold. The cold mix will make the veggies extra crunchy!
After 1 hour, rinse veggies with water and squeeze all water out. Pour cold vinegar mix into the bowl of veggies and thoroughly mix together. Transfer to a pickling jar. Let it refrigerate for at least 24 hours before eating.
This will keep for a month if uncontaminated (no double dipping).
Serve it in Banh mi or a sandwich, in fish dipping sauce, with banh xeo or any grilled meat and it will be delicious!
