A Rice Dish: Arroz Valenciana

          Yesterday, we had pork adobo for dinner. There were so much left overs, so my mom thought of using it for our dinner today. She used the left over pork adobo for making the Arroz Valenciana. I know it's sounds so spanish-y, but it is actually a known filipino rice dish. It must be first made during the spanish era (explaining the name). It is sticky rice with turmeric powder with pork or chicken.

Here are the ingredients used for the dish:

• 1/2 kilo of Sticky rice (malagkit)
• 2 sachets of Raisins
• your left over chicken/pork adobo
• 1 pc. bell pepper
• A small can of green peas
• 1 tablespoon of turmeric powder (for the yellowish color)

Procedure:

1. Place all the ingredients in a pot or in the rice cooker (if you have one). 

2. The rule with the water to rice ratio is 1:1. Meaning, 1 cup of rice is equivalent to 1 cup of water. Since 1/2 kilo of Sticky rice is 3 1/2 cups, your water must also be 3 1/2 cups. 

3. Cook the sticky rice with the ingredients just like how you cook plain rice. 

4. Serve and enjoy!
