White Carrot Pickle

White carrot pickle is my best discovery. It refrigerates well for days. I have prepared this dish over 20 times due to popular request when entertaining.

I discovered this while I was in Korea. Kim Chi and White Carrot Pickleare humble meal that kept the Korean trim and slim. I walked and visit many places in Korea and saw over hundreds of people.

I did not meet a fat person. The most pleasant thing to observe is they eat white carrot every meal! I mean it, every meal. Got home and did my own concoction.

My bad experience was eating white carrot Nyonya kuih (Chai Tow Kuih). Ever since then, I will not eat white carrot.

But I simply must try to learn to how to make them edible. I did not enjoy thinking of eating white carrot, believe you me.
