做法

分步操作

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.

   约 1分钟

2. 2

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

   约 1分钟

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.

   约 2分钟

   烹饪提示： 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.

   约 15分钟

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.

   约 10分钟

6. 6

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

   约 1分钟

7. 7

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

   烹饪提示： Taste and adjust lime and salt if desired.
