  1. RICE, RICE, BABY

    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, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.

  2. 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.

  3. MOUTHWATERING MEATBALLS

    In a bowl, combine the mince, the spring onion whites, the grated garlic, the grated ginger, the NOMU rub, and seasoning. Wet your hands slightly and shape the mince mixture into 4-5 meatballs.

  4. CHARRED BROCCOLI

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil or a knob of butter. When hot, fry the broccoli pieces until lightly charred, 5-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add a splash of water and cover with a lid. Simmer until al dente, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the pan and season.

  5. ASIAN AROMAS

    Place a clean pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the meatballs until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the oriental sauce and 50ml of water. Simmer until slightly reduced, 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat.

  6. SET THE TABLE

    Make a bed of the fluffy rice. Top with the charred broccoli, the sticky ginger meatballs and all the pan juices. Garnish with the chilli flakes (to taste), the toasted seeds, and the spring onion greens.
