This is the rice that makes everything it touches better. Fluffy white rice gets tossed with bright lime juice, fresh cilantro, and a touch of salt. It is the perfect base for burrito bowls, curries, stir fries, or honestly just eaten on its own with a fried egg on top.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups white Thai jasmine rice
- 2¼ cups water
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Juice of 2 limes
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- ½ tsp Redmond Real Salt
*Bolded ingredients are products we typically carry at Tare Bulk Foods.
Directions
- Rinse the rice until the water runs clear.
- Combine the rice, water, olive oil, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes.
- Fluff with a fork. Stir in the lime juice and cilantro.
Notes
- Add the lime juice and cilantro after cooking, not during. Heat would dull their brightness.
- Use brown basmati rice for a nuttier, more fiber-rich version. Cook for 40 minutes instead.
- This rice pairs especially well with black beans, tacos, and grilled chicken.
