A classic coconut rice recipe, with the added freshness of lime and cilantro/coriander (can be omitted if you wish). I served this with Hawaiian Marinated Chicken (together, these recipes use 1 standard can of coconut milk). This makes enough rice to serve 4 as a side.

Coconut Coriander (Cilantro) Lime Rice

long grain rice, uncooked ((jasmine is great too))

coconut milk

water

tsp white sugar

tsp salt

coriander / cilantro leaves

lime juice ((adjust to your taste))

Place Rice ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat with the lid on. Bring to simmer then turn down to medium low.

Cook for 15 to 18 minutes, or until liquid has been absorbed. Remove from heat, leaving the lid on, and rest for 10 minutes.

Fluff rice with a fork then stir through coriander/cilantro and lime juice. Adjust lime juice to taste.

I made this to go with barramundi with coconut spinach….. match made in heaven …….

I can’t cook rice to save my life, however somehow managed to make this without stuffing up another saucepan 🤣
Tasted amazing to btw!!

Excellent recipe! Will definitely make again! We loved it!!!

I made a version of this in my older basic zojirushi rice cooker.  I used coconut water not milk as invariably anything but water tends to  brown or burn on the bottom.  I hoped the coconut water might be different.  It browned, but I caught it in time to prevent burning.  The rice had a mild coconut flavor and I added lime &amp; cilantro to it on the plate.  I'm sure not as tasty as Nagi's (whose recipes are always a hit! I want a pot w/ a glass top to cook rice stove top.)  I used 3 cups coconut water to 1.5 cups long grain rice.  I've tried less but my cooker likes liquid at the higher end.  I'm sure coconut milk would have burned on the bottom.  It also might just be MY cooker that burns with anything but water.  Hope this helps.

Wow, so incredibly easy and packed with flavor (and yet doesn't distract from the main entree)!  My teenage daughter wants to make this regularly:)

Very yummy and the lime juice really cuts the richness of the coconut ricr

I made this last night with a Brazilian Coconut Chickpea curry and it was a hit! Hubby loved it and he’s quite particular about his rice. The flavours are fresh yet rich and provides the perfect base for other coconut based dishes as it’s not overpowering. Thanks Nagi :)
