Vietnamese Pickled Carrots and Daikon Radishes are a very important side to go with your Wild Pork Vermicelli bowl. It gives the perfect acidity and, obviously, pickled flavor to pair with the pork!
This should be made three days in advance of eating. The pickling process is important in order to get the perfect flavor. You can pull it earlier, but again it won’t have as strong of a pickled flavor. This goes great with other Asian cuisine as well and I will definitely be coming back to this in the future!
