Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Jasmine rice
- 1.5 cups Water
- 1 medium-sized Mango
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon Honey (or sweetener of choice)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
Peel the mango and dice the flesh into small cubes. Reserve half for cooking and the other half for garnishing.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, coconut milk, diced mango (reserved for cooking), honey, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Place the saucepan on medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil while occasionally stirring to prevent sticking.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid, and let it simmer for 15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
After cooking, remove the pan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Fluff the rice gently with a fork, being careful not to mash the mango pieces.
Serve warm, garnished with the reserved diced mango, fresh cilantro, and optional lime zest for a burst of color and flavor.
