Instructions

Place the rice into a fine-mesh sieve and rinse it with water under the sink until the water runs clear.

Then place the colander on top of a plate to catch the remaining drippings of water.

Place the rice into a medium-sized pot and add in the oil and garlic. Stir for about a minute to lightly brown the rice.

Then add in the water and salt and give it a quick stir.

Bring the rice to a rolling boil, then cover with the lid and cook on low for about 15.

Turn off the heat and let the rice rest for another 10-15 minutes.

Now fluff up the rice with a fork and stir in the butter, lime zest, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Serve hot.
