Recipe Tips

To make the cilantro lime rice more fluffy, you can rinse the rice several times in cold water before cooking. This will remove some of the excess starch and prevent the rice from clumping together. Also, make sure to let the rice sit for 5 minutes after cooking to allow it to absorb any remaining moisture and become tender. Finally, you can adjust the amount of lime juice and cilantro based on your personal preference. If you like a stronger lime flavor, you can add more lime juice, and if you prefer less cilantro, you can reduce the amount in the recipe.
