Pickled carrots and daikon are a traditional condiment to a myriad of Vietnamese dishes.  The great thing about this recipe is that it's considered to be a quick pickle.  The vegetables are chilled in the refrigerator for several hours instead of being cooked and canned.  You can use pickled carrots and daikon in sandwiches like the classic banh mi or serve it alongside some grilled beef or chicken.
