1. Rinse the rice in a fine mesh strainer until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch for fluffier rice.
2. Cook the rice using your preferred method:
• Stovetop: In a pot, bring water to a boil. Add rice, salt, bay leaf, and oil. Stir once, cover, reduce heat to low, and let simmer for 15-18 minutes until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Rice Cooker: Add rice, water, salt, bay leaf, and oil. Cook according to your rice cooker's settings.
3. Fluff the rice with a fork and remove the bay leaf.
4. Mix in the flavor: Stir in lime juice, lemon juice, and chopped cilantro.
Adjust salt if needed.
5. Enjoy!
