Steps

To toast your almonds , preheat your oven to 350 degrees f , and place nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet , and toast for approximately 10 minutes , shaking your pan periodically to rotate the nuts , until they are golden and fragrant.

Set aside to cool.

Combine rice and broth in a medium saucepan.

Bring to a boil , then stir and cover.

Reduce your heat to a simmer and allow to cook for 15 mins , or until liquid is absorbed.

Turn off heat and allow rice to stand covered for 10 mins , and uncover and fluff with a fork.

In a nonreactive large bowl , mix coconut milk , lime juice , vinegar , ginger , chilies , mustard oil , salt and pepper.

Add rice to this mixture , stirring to coat the rice very well.
