Rice and Serving

  • About an hour before serving, add 2 cup brown jasmine rice to a rice cooker along with 3 cups of water and a sprinkle of salt and some of the chopped leaves from the 1 bunch cilantro. Cook until done. Add a splash or two of lime juice and salt to taste.
  • When ready to serve, squeeze in lime juice from 3 limes to taste and serve over or next to the cilantro-lime rice.
