Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Start by rinsing the long-grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming too sticky.

  2. 2

    Combine the Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, lime juice, lime zest, and salt. Stir gently to mix the ingredients.

  3. 3

    Cook the Rice

    Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

  4. 4

    Fluff and Serve

    Once the rice is cooked, remove it from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork. If desired, stir in fresh chopped cilantro for added flavor before serving.
