Ingredients
- 1 cup long grain white rice , such as basmati
- 1 ½ cups water
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 5 cilantro stems , leaves removed
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped
- 2 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 lime , juiced
Instructions
- Combine the rice with a few cups of cool water in a bowl. Swirl the rice in the water with your fingers to remove the excess starch. Drain, then rinse once more, and drain again. Repeat until the water runs clean.
- Add 1 ½ cups water to a medium pot and bring to a boil. Stir in the rinsed rice and kosher salt. Tie the cilantro stems into a bundle with a piece of kitchen twine then add to the rice. Bring back to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cover with a lid. Cook the rice for 20 minutes. Remove the rice from the heat and while still covered with the lid, allow the rice to rest for 10 minutes before removing the cilantro stems. Discard the stems and fluff the rice with a fork.
- Stir in the canola oil, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and season with ⅛ teaspoon more kosher salt if needed.
- Fluff the rice and serve. Store the cooked rice in the fridge for several days.
Notes
- Cilantro Lime Rice will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. To reheat, microwave on medium for 2 minutes or slowly reheat on the stove.
