Ingredients:

Coconut Lime Rice Recipe

1 cup jasmine rice

1 cup coconut milk

1 cup water

Zest and juice of 1 lime

1 tablespoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons shredded coconut, toasted

Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Instructions:

Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.

In a medium saucepan, combine coconut milk, water, lime zest, lime juice, sugar, and salt. Stir well to combine.

Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

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 the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.

Fluff the rice with a fork and transfer it to a serving dish.

Sprinkle toasted shredded coconut over the rice and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves before serving.
