For a richer flavor, try using chicken broth instead of water. Adjust the amount of lime juice and cilantro to your personal preference. More lime zest can add even more citrusy aroma. To prevent sticking, rinse the rice under cold water before cooking until the water runs clear. This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for larger gatherings.
