Cooking Steps
- Wash and dry all produce.
- To a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
- Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
To the boiling water, add rice. Stir, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Cut cucumbers into 1/4-inch rounds.
- To a medium microwaveable bowl, add vinegar, 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) sugar and a pinch of salt. (NOTE: This is your pickling liquid.) Microwave in 15 sec increments, stirring between each, until sugar dissolves. Add cucumbers, then stir to combine.
- Peel, then cut yellow onion into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Thinly slice green onions.
