Fresh cilantro and lime brighten the flavour of this rice. It's perfect served with grilled salmon or unagi, Japanese barbequed eel.

    2 cups sushi rice

Instructions
  1. 1

    Rinse the rice under cold water until there’s no starch running out of it and the water is clear.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add the onions and cook until soft and translucent.

  3. 3

    Stir in the rice, add the water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and steam for 20 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from the heat and let stand for 15 minutes, covered.

  4. 4

    Toss the rice with most of the cilantro and lime zest, and lime juice.

  5. 5

    Garnish with the remaining cilantro and zest and serve.
