Tips and Tricks

Rice

Rinse the rice under cold water before cooking. This removes excess starch and helps the rice grains stay separate and fluffy.

Butter

Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the dish. It adds a nice richness to the rice.

Cooking Rice

Keep the saucepan covered while the rice is simmering. Avoid lifting the lid too often to prevent steam from escaping, which ensures the rice cooks evenly.

Cilantro

Chop the cilantro finely to ensure it mixes well with the rice. You can adjust the amount based on your preference.

Lime Juice and Zest

Use fresh lime juice and zest for the best flavor. The zest adds a concentrated lime flavor, while the juice adds a refreshing tang.

Mixing

Fluff the rice with a fork before mixing in the cilantro, lime juice, and zest. This helps distribute the ingredients evenly without mashing the rice.

Serving

Serve the rice immediately after mixing in the cilantro and lime. The fresh flavors are best enjoyed while the rice is hot.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of water if needed to rehydrate the rice.

Variation

Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors. You can also mix in some chopped green onions or a bit of finely diced jalapeno for an extra kick.

Presentation

Garnish the rice with a few additional cilantro leaves and a lime wedge for a bright and appealing presentation.
