Place the rice in a pot with 200ml [400ml]|#7DA0D7 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.
PICKLED VEG & SPICY MAYO
To a bowl, add the onion, the carrot, the cucumber matchsticks, the pickling liquid, and set aside in the fridge. To a separate bowl, add the spicy mayo and loosen with 5ml increments of water until drizzling consistency.
OPEN SESAME
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.
GOLDEN NUGGETS
Return the pan to medium heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the nuggets until golden and crispy, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel. Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 5-8 minutes (shifting halfway).
