In a large sauté pan with a lid, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the rice and the onion and cook, stirring, until the rice turns white and very lightly brown. The onion will be tender and translucent.

Turn the heat to very low. Stir in the lime juice, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Stir quickly and add the tomato sauce. Stir well. Stir in the chicken stock and turn up the heat. Bring to bubbling.

Cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until almost all liquid is absorbed.

Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork. Gently fold in the chopped herbs. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
