👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1In a colander, wash the rice thoroughly while stirring it until the water runs clean. Rinsing rice before cooking is to remove excess starche to make your rice fluffier.

  3. 3Cook the rice in the rice cooker until all the water is absorbed. In a rice cooker, white rice usually cooks in 15-20 minutes.
  4. 4When the rice is cooked, add lime zest and squeeze 2 lime of juice. Season the rice with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
  5. 5Combine all the seasonings with the rice and gently mix it until it is coated.
  6. 6Add chopped cilantro prior serving to prevent the color turning dark. And enjoy!
