- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons Cilantro (Fresh)
- 3 Limes
- 4 cups + ½ cup Jasmine Rice
- 4 cups + ½ cup Coconut Milk
- 2 ¼ teaspoons Kosher Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 2 cups + ¼ cup Water

- Fluff with a fork, then stir in the lime zest, lime juice, and cilantro. Taste, add a pinch more salt if needed, and serve warm.
