The dish features tender cauliflower rice gently simmered in a fragrant broth of green tea and creamy coconut milk, with a subtle zest of lime adding a bright, citrusy note. Finished with a generous topping of fresh cilantro and scallions, this vibrant dish is as visually appealing as it is delicious.

The aromatic green tea infuses the rice with a delicate, earthy flavor, creating a unique and satisfying base. The creamy coconut milk not only contributes richness but also enhances the texture, making it incredibly smooth and comforting. The lime zest cuts through the richness with a refreshing tang, ensuring a well-balanced taste profile.
