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)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

Peel the mango and dice the flesh into small cubes. Reserve half for cooking and the other half for garnishing.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, coconut milk, diced mango (reserved for cooking), honey, and salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

Place the saucepan on medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil while occasionally stirring to prevent sticking.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

After cooking, remove the pan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Fluff the rice gently with a fork, being careful not to mash the mango pieces.

Step 8

Serve warm, garnished with the reserved diced mango, fresh cilantro, and optional lime zest for a burst of color and flavor.
