Instructions

1
Rinse the rice in a medium saucepan under cold water until the water runs mostly clear, then drain. Add 2 1/4 cups water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover tightly, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let steam, covered, for 10 minutes.
2
While the rice cooks, combine the sliced cucumber with the rice vinegar, sugar, and kosher salt in a small bowl. Toss to coat and set aside to quick-pickle for at least 10 minutes, tossing once halfway through.
