Quick Pickles
In a medium bowl, add the vinegar, water, salt, and sugar, and stir until the sugar and salt dissolve. The mixture can be warmed slightly in the microwave if necessary. Add the carrots and cucumbers and let sit at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes. Refrigerate if not using immediately.
Honey Soy Sauce
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, honey, and lime juice. Whisk until the honey is incorporated, and add a pinch of red pepper flakes. Set aside.
