While the rice is cooking, in a small stainless steel or enameled saucepan combine the vinegar, the sugar, and the salt and cook the mixture over moderately low heat, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved. Let the mixture cool. Add the vinegar mixture, a little at a time, to warm the rice, stirring the mixture gently, and let the vinegared rice cool, covered.
