FLUFFY 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 10 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and set aside to steam for 10 minutes. Drain if necessary and fluff up with a fork.
MEATBALL MAMBO
Place the mince in a bowl, add ½ of the rub, grated Ginger, Garlic, spring onion whites, ½ of the dried chilli (to taste), and a drizzle of oil. Mix to combine and roll into 4-5 meatballs. In a small bowl, mix the Cornflour with 1 tsp of water and set aside.
CHARRED BROC
Place a nonstick pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the broccoli pieces for 4-5 minutes, shifting occasionally, until charred. In the final minutes, sprinkle over the remaining rub, toss in a knob of butter, and mix to combine. Remove from the pan and season.
STICKY SWEET SOY SAUCE
Return the pan (wiped down, if necessary) to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Fry the meatballs for 3-4 minutes, shifting as they colour. Add the sweet soy and 80ml of water, and lower the heat. Simmer for 4-5 minutes until reduced. In the final 1-2 minutes, add the Cornflour mixture and cook until the sauce is thick and sticky.
