Instructions
- 1
Make the pickled jalapeños: Combine the white wine vinegar, water, sugar, and 1 tsp kosher salt in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, add the sliced jalapeños, and let them sit in the brine for at least 20 minutes at room temperature until slightly softened and bright green.

Cook the rice: Combine the rice, 2 1/4 cups water, and 1/2 tsp kosher salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and cook until the water is fully absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let steam, covered, for 5 minutes.
