Cilantro Lime Rice (Rice Cooker)

Ingredients

• 2 cup jasmine or long grain rice
• 3 cups water
• 1 large bay leaf or 2 small ones
• 1 lime (the juice of 1 lime)
• 2 Tablespoons lemon juice,
• 1 ½ teaspoon kosher or sea salt, (or more to taste)
• 2 Tablespoons rice bran oil (avocado, soybean or any other mild flavor oil)
• ¾ cup fresh chopped cilantro

Steps

1. 1

   Using a fine mesh strainer, rinse the rice with cold water until the water runs clear.

2. 2

   To the rice cooker pot, add the rice, water and bay leaf.

3. 3

   Close the lid of the rice cooker and turn it on. The rice cooker will automatically turn off when the rice is done cooking (usually after 20-30 minutes).

4. 4

   Let the rice sit in the rice cooker for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow it to steam and absorb any remaining water.

5. 5

   Fluff the rice with a fork and add the salt, oil, lime/lemon juice. Using a spatula, mix the ingredients gently. Lastly, add the chopped cilantro and fold gently.

6. 6

   Serve hot as a side dish.
