Instructions
- 1
Combine the white wine vinegar, water, sugar, and 1 tsp salt in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve, about 2 minutes. Place the sliced jalapeños in a small bowl, pour the hot brine over them, and let sit at room temperature for at least 20 minutes until lightly softened and tangy.

While the jalapeños pickle, combine the rice, 1 3/4 cups water, and 1/2 tsp salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to the lowest setting, cover, and cook until the water is fully absorbed and the rice is tender, about 18 minutes. Remove from heat and let steam, covered, for 5 minutes.
