Do chua to Vietnamese is like Kim chi to the Koreans. Without a doubt, it is our pickle of choice. Every Vietnamese family should have one of these jar in the fridge, along with our other national treasure Nuoc cham. It's great just on it's own or toss into a salad, and I can't image having Banh mi thi (Vietnamese pork roll) without do chua. It's dead easy and simple make but taste absolutely amazing.
Recipe
2 carrots
1 small daikon
1/2 head of cauliflower (optional)
5 large chilli (optional)

2.5 cup white vinegar
1 tsp salt
