Prepare the Pickles
While the pork is cooking, slice the red onion and carrot into thin strips. In a small saucepan, combine the white vinegar, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil and stir until sugar dissolves. Pour the hot mixture over the sliced vegetables in a jar, and let them pickle at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
