Ingredients

  • 1 cup basmati rice unrinsed, or any long-grain white rice, rinsed
  • 1 bay leaf
  • salt
  • 1 tsp olive oil or rice bran oil, optional
  • 1 Tbsp minced fresh cilantro
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1

Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Add rice, bay leaf, and salt to taste (I like 1 teaspoon). Stir and return to a boil. Boil uncovered for 10 to 12 minutes (for me it's always 12, but some readers have reported mushy rice after 12 minutes, so keep an eye on yours).

2

Remove bay leaf. Using a fine mesh strainer, drain rice and rinse with hot water. Pour into a large bowl.

3

Stir in cilantro, lime juice, and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt (I like an additional ¼ teaspoon). Serve hot or at room temperature.
