Over medium heat, using a lidded saute pan or wide pot, saute onion and garlic in oil until fragrant and tender, 4-5 minutes. Add rice, saute 1-2 more minute, coating each grain, then add coriander, 1 tablespoon of the lime zest (save rest for garnish)  and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.

Step 3

Cook 20-22 minutes or until all the water evaporates.

Step 4

Fluff with fork, squeeze with lime juice (3-5 tablespoons) and right before serving, toss in the chopped cilantro and scallions.

Step 5

Fluff again, taste and adjust salt and lime to taste.
