Ingredients
- 2 to 4 cups water see Notes
- 2 cups uncooked long grain white rice
- 1 teaspoon Morton kosher salt
- ½ cup chopped cilantro leaves
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime zest
Instructions
- Place the rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse it under cold water until the water runs clear, about 1-2 minutes.
- To cook rice in RICE COOKER (my preferred method): Add the rice, 2 cups of water, and salt to the insert of the rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions. When the rice is finished, fluff it gently with a fork before continuing.
- To finish the cilantro lime rice: Add the cooked rice to a medium bowl, along with the cilantro, lime juice, and lime zest. Fold to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (When we’re not entertaining, I just fold everything together right in the rice cooker and serve from there.) Enjoy immediately.
- To cook rice in saucepan on STOVETOP: Add 4 cups of water to a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil.
- Add the rice and salt and stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium-low, for a gentle simmer, and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Cook for 18-20 minutes, or until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before continuing.
Notes
- I prefer to cook rice in a rice cooker because it cooks the rice perfectly every single time and gives the rice a great texture. Although still very good, the stovetop method results in a heavier rice.
