Cook's Note:
10
Pickled beets retain a tender yet delightfully snappy texture.
11
Their sweet earthiness is complemented by canella and clove, and brightened by orange and aromatic herb.
12
Rice wine and white balsamic are the vinegars of choice because of the subtlety of rice wine as a base, and the sweet complexity of their flavors.
