Bush Food Cooking School Recipe: Native Creative Pickled Carrot

June 7, 2014 By Julie Weatherhead 2 Comments

Native Creative Pickled Carrot

Native Creative Pickled Carrot Recipe

Today we ran a new cooking school called an Asian Style Lunch with an Australian Twist. After a recent trip to Malaysia and Vietnam, I thought our lovely Australian Spices would fit perfectly with many Asian dishes – the lunch recipes are a result of that thinking. Here is a pic of my take on Vietnamese pickled carrot: a Native Creative Pickled Carrot recipe. The recipe is easy and will keep for weeks in the fridge.I put these carrots into spring rolls,  stir fried vegetables and  San Choy Bao.

    Hello, thanks for sharing the recipe. Is it fresh anise myrtle you are using? Or dried? I have dried in my cupboard, not in ground Powder form but in little flakes. Would this work? Cheers 🙂
