Instructions

1. Rice Cooker Instructions
   Add rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, lime juice, salt, and optional sugar to the rice cooker. Stir briefly and cook according to your rice cooker settings. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and stir in lime zest before serving.

2. Stovetop Instructions
   Add rice, coconut milk, water, lime juice, salt, and optional sugar to a medium saucepan and stir. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and cover.
