Cilantro Lime Coconut Rice
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 lime zested
- 2 tsp. fresh lime juice
- 4 tsp. finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. pepper
Instructions
-
Rinse rice under cold water until water runs clear. This gets rid of some starch from the rice so the rice is not too sticky.
-
In a large sauce pan, add the rice, coconut milk, water, salt and pepper.
-
Bring to a simmer and cook with the lid partially covering on medium-low heat. Do this until all the liquid is absorbed. Approx 15 mins (sometimes a min or two less).
-
Immediately after removing from heat, use a fork to fluff the rice. Then stir in the lime zest, lime juice and cilantro. Serve immediately.
-
Have each individual salt and pepper to taste. ENJOY!
