Instructions
- Rinse the rice well and drain.
- Heat coconut oil in a medium sized pan and add the rice. Stir and fry the rice until the rice changes from opaque to white. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for another minute.
- Stir in the broth, coconut milk and salt and bring to a boil over medium high heat. When the liquid comes to a boil, turn the heat down to medium low and place a lid tightly on the pan. Set a timer for 20 minutes and refrain from peeking under the lid. After 20 minutes, remove the lid and test for doneness by carefully tasting a couple grains of rice.
- If needed, cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. If the rice is totally dry, add another couple tablespoons of broth or water. If the rice is done, remove and using a fork, stir in the lime juice and cilantro. Serve.
Notes
- Use fresh ginger, garlic, and lime juice for the best flavor and results.
- Add more liquid (broth or water) as needed to ensure that the rice is cooked completely.
- Toasting the rice in coconut lightly before adding liquid gives the rice a nuttier flavor and a fluffier texture.
- Use low sodium broth for added flavor without excess sodium content
- Be sure to use a tight fitting lid when cooking the rice to ensure that it cooks evenly and properly.
