1 cup (70 g) diced green cabbage (cut into 1-inch pieces)

1/2 pound (227 g) fresh Mexican chorizo

3 cups cooked white rice (18 ounces; 525 g; see notes)

4 medium cloves garlic, minced

Instruções

In a wok or a carbon-steel or cast iron skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over high heat until just smoking. Add onion whites and cook, undisturbed, until charred, about 1 minute. Add cabbage and cook, stirring continuously, until wilted and charred, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; set aside.

Reduce heat to medium-high and add chorizo to skillet. Cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until well browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to bowl with cabbage, leaving the fat in skillet.

If skillet is dry, add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add rice and cook, stirring and tossing frequently, until it is pale brown and toasted, with a lightly chewy texture, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant and softened, about 1 minute.

Return cooked onion whites, cabbage, and chorizo to skillet. Add pickled jalapeños and a tablespoon of reserved pickling liquid. Toss to combine. Season with salt to taste. Sprinkle with cotija and onion greens, and serve.
