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, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
SESAME SEEDS
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.
CRACK ON WITH THE EGG
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Crack in 1 egg and fry until cooked to your preference. Remove from the heat and season.
MOUTHWATERING MINCE
Return the pan to 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). Add the diced Onion and fry until golden, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the diced carrots, the diced pepper, the corn and fry until charred and softened, 5-8 minutes. In the final minute, add the NOMU rub, and fry until fragrant.
ALL TOGETHER NOW
Add the cooked rice, the peas, the oriental sauce, and a knob of butter to the fried mince. Fry until the sauce is warmed through, 4-5 minutes. Alternatively, for egg-fried rice, you can crack 1 egg (optional) into the mixture and stir until the egg is fully cooked. Remove from the heat and season.
