If you’re not familiar with hoisin sauce yet, get ready for a very pleasant introduction, Chef! Slightly similar to barbeque sauce, but richer, saltier, and less sweet, this fermented soybean-based sauce packs an umami punch. You will savour this sauce once poured over NOMU Oriental Rub-spiced chicken, charred green beans, and a cashew & sesame seed nut mix. Served with steamed basmati rice.

RICE
Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 200ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
GREEN BEANS
While the rice is on the go, place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the green beans until starting to char, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan.
CASHEW CHICKEN
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel and coat with the NOMU rub. When hot, fry the chicken until lightly golden, 30-60 minutes per side. Add the sliced spring onion whites and the nut & seed mix, and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Mix in the hoisin dressing, the green beans, and a splash of water. Simmer until warmed through, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
TIME TO EAT
Plate up the fluffy rice. Top with the loaded cashew chicken and all the pan juices. Scatter over the drained peppers and the spring onion greens, and squeeze over the lemon juice. Well done Chef!
