Steps
Heat vegetable oil, salt, and water in a large pot or caldero over medium heat. Bring it to a boil.
Stir in the rice and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5-10 minutes, or until it absorbs all the water. Cover the pot and bring the heat to low. Let the rice cook for about 25 minutes.
Stir in the cilantro and lime juice. Cover and let cook for an additional 5 minutes.
