4 servings
- 1 ½ cups long-grain white rice
- 2 ¼ cups water
- 1 tbsp neutral oil (such as avocado or canola oil)
- 1 bay leaf
- ¾ tsp kosher salt
- 3 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
Ingredient noteFruit juice contains far less fiber than whole fruit, so the lime juice used here leaves little residue. If you prefer to always avoid lime juice, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tsp lime zest
Ingredient noteLow residue diets limit citrus peel because it adds fiber and residue. The small amount of lime zest here contributes very little, so it is likely low residue. If you prefer to always avoid lime peel, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 tsp neutral oil (such as avocado or canola oil)
Instructions
- 1
Place the rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water, stirring with your hand, until the water runs mostly clear, about 30 seconds. Shake off the excess water.
- 2
Heat 1 tbsp neutral oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the rinsed rice and stir to coat, cooking for about 2 minutes until the grains turn opaque and smell faintly toasty.
