Ingredients:
1/2 cup rice vinegar1/4 cup sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 4 large carrots(about 12 oz.), peeled and cut into 2-by-1/4-inch matchsticks 2 teaspoons salt
Directions:
In a small saucepan, combine vinegar, sugar, and salt; heat over low heat until sugar and salt are dissolved. Remove from heat, and let cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, in a medium-size bowl, toss carrot strips with salt; set aside 5 minutes. Using your hands, squeeze carrot strips to extract as much liquid as possible. (The strips should be limp.) Rinse under cold water and drain well. Fill a glass jar with carrot strips, then pour vinegar sauce on top. Cover, and marinate at room temperature for at least 2 hours or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Drain just before serving. Makes 8 servings.
