Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup white jasmine rice
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Rinse rice several times with cold water until water runs clear. Drain well in a fine-mesh sieve. Transfer rice to a medium pot. Add salt and 1 1/4 cups water, cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 18-21 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Let stand, covered and undisturbed, 10 minutes. Use a fork to fluff, then gently fold in cilantro, butter, and lime juice.
