How to make rice-
There are so many methods for cooking rice. You can cook it on the stovetop, in a rice cooker or in the oven. The stove top is probably the most common but there’s so much that can go wrong. I’ve had the rice be overcooked, undercooked way too often.
So, finally, I started making my rice in the oven and will never go back to any other method again.
Cilantro lime rice-
It’s so easy to turn this recipe into something with more flavor. I love to change things up a bit.
Cilantro lime rice is great. I know some people like to add the lime juice into the water during cooking, I find that just adding the lime and cilantro as soon as I take the rice out of the oven gives more flavor to the rice along with the fresh cilantro.
For this portion of rice, add 3 Tbsp of fresh lime juice and 3 to 4 Tbsp fresh chopped cilantro. Fluff rice.
What kind of rice should I use?
For this baked rice recipe, you are going to want to use long-grain white rice. Uncle Ben’s is a favorite of ours. However, you can use your favorite brand.
