Vegan Rice with Cilantro and Lime Notes

• Before sautéing the rice, wash it thoroughly with lukewarm water.
• After adding water and lowering the fire, keep the lid closed.
• If using Brown Basmati Rice, plan on almost double the cooking time… 35-40 minutes (unless you soak the rice beforhand). Make sure to read package directions adjusting the liquid if need be.
• I do not prefer to soak the rice in water beforehand. I love its starchy unique taste.
• After it cools down, you can keep it in the fridge for a week.
• Try the leftover rice in salads.
