Slice the carrots and radish into fine sticks or they can be julienned using a food processor.
Place the water in a large bowl to dissolve the salt and sugar. Then add the sliced carrots and radish. Add the Grainfields liquid when the water is lukewarm. Leave for 2 hours until vegetables are slightly floppy. Remove the amount you need and drain well before use.
The rest of the pickled vegetables will keep in the pickling liquid in the fridge for 2 months. Use airtight glass containers, not plastic.
Combine the garlic, fish sauce, lime juice, sweet chilli sauce, sugar and water in a small bowl and mix well.
Adjust the flavour by adding a little more lime juice to make it more sour or more sugar to make it sweeter.
