Need Recipe: Chinese Pickled Carrots

ThePontificator | Mar 27, 201609:09 AM 2
Asian Chinese Pickles Carrots

Decades ago I had a recipe for "Chinese Pickled Carrots" (refrigerator pickles). I only made it once and unfortunately lost the recipe.

It called for cutting into matchsticks a vast quantity of carrots, possibly blanching them and then soaking them in a brine. I recall the brine contained soy sauce, a bit of sesame oil, and a good amount of fresh cilantro but that's as far as I remember. Maybe it also called for rice vinegar. I just don't remember.

Can anyone help?
