Steps:

  • 3. Make your rice: Stove top: Rinse rice to remove excess starch. Add to saucepan along with lime zest, lemongrass, salt, and water. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 18-20 minutes. Remove from heat, remove lid, and allow to cool slightly. Squeeze the juice of one lime wedge into rice and stir.
  • 4. Assemble your bowl and serve: Arrange beans and rice. Top with the sweet mango salsa. Tear up a few leaves of cilantro and sprinkle on top. Squeeze lime juice on top. Enjoy!
