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.

GOLDEN Chicken
Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season. Return the pan to high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the chicken pieces until golden, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan.
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 Chicken pieces, the cooked rice, and the Asian sauce.
