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, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
PREP
In a bowl, combine the vinegar and a sweetener. Toss through the radish rounds and the cucumber half-moons. Set aside. Loosen the mayo with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency.
TOASTY
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. Return the pan to medium-high heat. When hot, toast the nori sheet until crispy, 1-2 minutes per side. Thinly slice and set aside.
CHICKY
Pat the chicken dry with paper towel and cut into bite-sized chunks. Place 1 tsp of the cornflour in a bowl. Mix in 1 egg and a pinch of salt. Place the remaining cornflour in a separate bowl and season. Coat the chicken pieces in the egg & cornflour mix first, and then in the dry cornflour. Place a pot over medium-high heat with 4-5cm of oil. When hot, deep fry the chicken until crispy and cooked through, 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towel.
PAK
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the rinsed pak choi until slightly wilted, 1-2 minutes. Season and remove from the pan.
SAUCE
Return the pan to medium heat. When hot, add the Korean sticky sauce, a sweetener, and 50ml of water. Simmer until slightly reduced and sticky, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and toss through the sesame seeds and the crispy chicken. Cover and set aside.
LOADED RICE
Once the rice is done, toss through the edamame beans and ¾ of the sliced nori. Drain the pickling liquid from the cucumber & radish.
YUM
Plate up the loaded rice. Top with the Korean chicken and all the pan juices and side with the pak choi and the pickled veg. Drizzle over the loosened mayo and sprinkle with the remaining nori (to taste).
