Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Rinse 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice under cold water until water runs clear to remove excess starch.
  2. Step 2: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 1 cup coconut milk, 1 1/4 cups water, and 1/2 tsp salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Step 3: Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the rice has absorbed the liquid and is tender.
  4. Step 4: Remove from heat and let the rice sit covered for 10 minutes to complete steaming and imbibe the flavors.
  5. Step 5: Fluff the rice with a fork, then stir in 1 tsp lime zest, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro to imbue brightness.
  6. Step 6: Serve the rice bowls topped with 2 tbsp toasted shredded coconut and 2 tbsp sliced green onions for texture and fresh aroma.
