Wash and dry produce.
Thinly slice jalapeño crosswise into rounds, removing ribs and seeds for less heat.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine jalapeño, half the vinegar (you’ll use the rest later), ¼ tsp sugar (1⁄3 tsp for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Microwave for 30 seconds. Set aside, stirring occasionally.
