READY THE RICE
Rinse the rice and place in a pot over medium-high heat. Submerge in 225ml of salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 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.
CHOP CHOP
Rinse, deseed and roughly dice ½ the green pepper. Roughly chop the Mushrooms. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel and cut into bite-sized chunks.
COOK THE Chicken
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Chicken for 1-2 minutes per side until golden but not cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
NOW FOR THE SAUCE
Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil, if necessary. When hot, add the diced pepper and the chopped Mushrooms. Fry for 4-5 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Add the flour and NOMU Rub. Fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Pour in the milk and 50ml of water. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened. In the final 1-2 minutes, add the browned chicken. Add a splash of water if it’s too thick for your liking. Season.
