To make the pickled vegetables, in a large bowl, toss together carrots, daikon, 3 teaspoons sugar, and salt. Let sit 5 minutes to release their natural water, soften, and lose some of their volume. Drain in a colander and press down a bit to release any excess liquid. Return to the bowl and combine with the remaining 4 tablespoons sugar, vinegar, and water. The vegetables should be completely covered with vinegar mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside until ready to use.
