Ingredients

- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 2 cups water
- ½ lime, juiced
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
Equipment
Method
- In a medium pot, heat the oil. Add the rice and toast rice over medium heat for a few minutes. Don’t let it burn/brown. It will appear “whiter” as it toasts. Stir in the salt.
- Add 2 cups warm water (or amounts according to package instructions) and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes.
- Once the rice is ready, add the lime juice and cilantro. Fluff, then set aside until ready to serve.
