Ingredients
Instructions
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs mostly clear. This removes excess starch and keeps the rice fluffy.
In a medium saucepan, combine rice, coconut milk, water, salt, and sugar (if using).
Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12–15 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Remove from heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Then fluff gently with a fork.
Stir in lime zest, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Taste and adjust salt or lime if needed.
Serve as a side dish or as a base for bowls, grilled meats, fish, or roasted veggies.
