Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup basmati rice or long grain white rice
- 1 bay leaf
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- ½ lime juiced
Instructions
- Rinse rice and drain well.
- Bring rice, bay leaf, water and salt to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook 15 minutes or until water is absorbed.
- Remove from heat and let sit 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
- Stir in lime juice, cilantro and salt to taste. Serve.
Notes
- If using long-grain white rice, it will come out fluffier if it is washed several times until the water runs clear to remove the surface starch.
