AROMATICS
Place a pot (big enough for the rice) over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Onion until golden and soft, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final minute, add ½ the NOMU spice.
YUMMY RICE
When the Onion is soft, add the rice, and 150ml [300ml]|#7DA0D7 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 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 and cut into strips. 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 NOMU spice. Remove from the pan, season, and set aside.
1, 2, 3, SALSA
In a bowl, combine the charred Corn, the Tomato, ½ the coriander, lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, a sweetener (to taste), and seasoning.
