  1. OFF WE GO!

    Place a pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the diced onion and fry for 3-4 minutes until soft, shifting occasionally. In the final minute, add ½ the NOMU spice blend.

  2. A DIFFERENT KIND OF FRIED RICE

    When the onion is soft, add the rinsed rice to the pot (with the onions). Submerge in 300ml of salted water and pop on the lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and steam for 10 minutes. Drain if necessary and fluff up with a fork.

  3. HOW CHAR-MING

    Place a pan, with a lid, over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the corn and fry for 3-4 minutes until charred, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan.

  4. DRUM ROLL PLEASE…

    Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towel and season to taste. Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the chicken and pop on the lid. Fry for 12-15 minutes until cooked through, shifting as it colours. In the final 1-2 minutes, remove the lid and baste with the remaining rub and a knob of butter (optional).

  5. 1, 2, 3, SALSA

    In a bowl, combine the lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, a sweetener of choice, seasoning, the charred corn, the diced tomato, and ½ the picked coriander.

  6. WINNER OF A DINNER!

    Plate up the rice. Top with the chicken, and served with the corn salsa. Garnish with the remaining coriander. Side with the tzatziki and the remaining corn salsa. Time to dine, Chef!
