Easy Peasey Cilantro Lime Rice

1 cup long-grain white rice (basmati or jasmine versions work well)
1 ½ cups water or chicken broth (for added flavor)
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ - 1 lime, juiced (depending on desired tartness)
1 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Optional: Chopped garlic clove, scallions, or a pinch of red pepper flakes for a kick
Instructions:

Rinse the rice in cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch for fluffy rice.

Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the rinsed rice and stir to coat with oil.

You can also optionally toast the rice for a nice nutty flavor by cooking for a minute or two, stirring constantly.

Pour in the water or broth, along with the salt.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover the pan tightly with a lid, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and fluffy.

Remove the pan from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes to steam the rice perfectly.

Fluff the rice with a fork and then stir in the lime juice and chopped cilantro. Season with additional salt to taste.

Voila the cilantro lime rice is ready to be served; do this anytime by just using even one's regular ordinary kitchen sauce pan

One can even throw in some canned corned beef hash into the freshly cooked cilantro lime rice into one's kitchen sauce man and now one all of a sudden has a very good and interesting tasting highly nutritional side rice dish and one can even use this corned beef hash and cooked cilantro lime rice as a tasty filling inside a wrapped corn tortilla also as well for some portable food to go on demand.
