Krok za krokem

1. 1

   Rinse the long-grain white rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch for fluffier rice.

   Přibližně 1 min

2. 2

   Combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt in a medium saucepan.

   Přibližně 1 min

3. 3

   Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan tightly with a lid, and simmer.

   Přibližně 2 min

   Poznámka kuchaře: Ensure the lid is tight to trap steam, which is crucial for cooking the rice evenly.

4. 4

   Cook for 15 minutes without lifting the lid. Do not stir the rice during this time.

   Přibližně 15 min

5. 5

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it rest, still covered, for 10 minutes. This allows the rice to finish cooking with residual steam and become fluffy.

   Přibližně 10 min

6. 6

   Once rested, remove the lid and fluff the rice gently with a fork.

   Přibližně 1 min

7. 7

   Stir in the lime juice and chopped fresh cilantro until well combined.

   Poznámka kuchaře: Taste and adjust lime and salt if desired.
