Dua Gop - Quick Pickled Carrot and Kohlrabi

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cut carrot and kohlrabi into matchsticks of the same size. Cut evenly, they steep evenly.
  2. Toss with the salt and a teaspoon of the sugar and leave for 15 minutes until they bend.
  3. Rinse under cold water and squeeze out hard. This step removes the water that would otherwise dilute the brine.
  4. Dissolve the remaining sugar in 200 ml lukewarm water, add the rice vinegar and let it cool.
  5. Pack the vegetables into a jar and pour the cold brine over until covered.
  6. Leave for an hour. It keeps two weeks in the fridge and improves every day.

Warum die Lake kalt sein muss

Brine poured on hot part-cooks the vegetables and softens them - that is how German mixed pickles are made. Poured on cold, the cell structure stays intact, and that is precisely the difference between soft pickles and crunchy dua gop.
