COOKING 101
Rinse the Potato and green beans. Peel and cut the rinsed potato into bite-sized pieces. Trim and cut the rinsed green beans in half. Peel and grate the Ginger and the Garlic. Peel and roughly slice ½ the onion. Roughly chop the Almonds.
MAKE THE MASH
Place the Potato pieces in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter (optional) and a splash of water or milk (optional). Mash with a fork, season, and cover.
Ginger Chicken
Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel and place in a bowl. Toss with a drizzle of oil, seasoning, the NOMU rub, and ½ the grated ginger. Set aside.
ALL THE Almonds
Place the chopped Almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
GARLICKY GREEN BEANS
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced Onion and the halved green beans until starting to char, 4-5 minutes (shifting constantly). In the final minute, mix through the grated Garlic. Remove from the pan, season, and set aside.
ADD THE ASIAN FLAVOURS
