Slice daikon and carrots into quarter-inch thick slices and then julienne them into matchsticks about 2 to 3 inches in length.

Place the sliced daikon and carrots into a bowl.

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of salt over the vegetables and mix it in to coat them evenly.

Let the salted vegetables sit for 15 to 20 minutes to soften.

Check the texture of the daikon; it should bend without breaking after sitting.

Prepare the brine after the vegetables have softened.
