Instructions
- 1
Start the quick-pickled cucumbers first so they have time to sit. Combine the sliced cucumber, rice vinegar, sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt in a mixing bowl and toss well. Set aside at room temperature for at least 15 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until the slices are slightly softened and lightly tangy.

Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs mostly clear. Combine the rinsed rice, 2 1/4 cups water, and 1/2 tsp salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to the lowest heat setting, cover tightly, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let steam, covered, for 10 minutes undisturbed.
