READY THE 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, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
OPEN SESAME
Place the sesame seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
LIKE PEAS IN A POD
Boil the kettle. Submerge the peas in boiling water until plump, 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
GOLDEN CHICKEN
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Fry until browned, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
EGG-CELLENT
If you would like to add scrambled egg (optional) to your meal, crack 1 egg into a bowl. Season and whisk until combined.
FRAGRANT RICE
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, fry the diced onion and the NOMU rub until fragrant. Add the whisked egg (if using) and fry until cooked through and scrambled, for 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Add the cooked chicken, the cooked rice, and the sesame-soy sauce. Fry until combined, 2-3 minutes.
