AROMATICS
Place a pot (big enough for the rice) over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced Onion until golden and soft, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final minute, add ½ the NOMU spice blend.
YUMMY RICE
When the Onion is soft, add the rinsed rice, and 200ml of salted water to the pot. 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.
CHARRED Corn
Place a pan (with a lid) over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Corn until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
Chicken TIME
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken until golden and cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side. During the final minutes, baste the chicken with a knob of butter and the remaining spice blend. Remove from the pan, season, and set aside.
