Transform your typical side dish with this Coconut Lime Jasmine Rice. Infused with creamy coconut milk and zesty lime, it’s a tropical twist on a classic that pairs wonderfully with spicy curries or grilled seafood. Quick and easy, it’s your ticket to a culinary getaway without leaving your kitchen.
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of jasmine rice, 1 cup of coconut milk, 1 cup of water, and a pinch of salt.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 5 minutes.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of lime zest and 1 tablespoon of lime juice, fluffing the rice with a fork.
Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving, if desired.
