COOK THE RICE
Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 200ml of salted water. Cover 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.
SOME PREP
Rinse the mixed herbs. Pick and finely chop the herbs. Set aside.
CHAR THE 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). In the final 1-2 minutes, add ½ of the NOMU rub, and stir occasionally. Remove from the pan, season, and set aside.
FRY THE MINCE
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, fry the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Fry until browned, 3-5 minutes (shifting occasionally).

Add the sliced Onion to the pan and fry until soft, 4-5 minutes. Add the remaining rub and fry until fragrant 30-60 seconds. Pour the tomato passata and 150ml of water. Simmer until reduced and thickening, 10-12 minutes. Remove from the heat, mix through the chopped mixed herbs, 5ml of sweetener, and season.
