For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeno pepper before slicing. If you don't have fresh lemongrass, you can use lemongrass paste, but fresh is always better. Adjust the amount of sugar depending on the sweetness of your rice vinegar. This salad is best served chilled. For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing.
