Ingredients
– 1 cup jasmine rice

Instructions
Creating Creamy Coconut Mango Rice is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Rinse the Rice: Start by rinsing the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps achieve a fluffy texture.
2. Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
3. Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice absorbs the liquid.
4. Add Sugar: If you prefer a sweeter dish, stir in the sugar while the rice is still warm. Adjust the sweetness to your liking.
5. Fluff the Rice: Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Then, fluff the rice gently with a fork.
6. Mix in Mango: Fold in the diced mango and lime juice, ensuring the fruit is evenly distributed throughout the rice.
7. Serve: Transfer the rice to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
