Fusionnnn POWERRR *ahem*

So for a while now, my girlfriend has been trying to get me to learn Spanish cooking, in order to make the ultimate Asian-Spanish fusion dish. One of the things I was recently introduced to is arroz con pollo, or literally, rice with chicken. What gives this dish so much flavor is the fact that the rice itself is cooked in chicken stock, rather than just water. With that idea as a base, I created this following dish. It's full of flavor, and absolutely delicious. Seriously, see the picture at the bottom of the post? I ended up eating half of it before remembering that I was supposed to take a photo for this blog.

-=Sesame Pork Fried Arroz=-

1.5 cups white rice

1.5 cups chicken stock

1 cup water

1 pork chop (4-6 oz)

1 cup chopped leek

sesame oil

vegetable oil

1 tbsp sesame seeds

garlic salt

orange liqueur 

2 tbsp tomato paste

In a medium pot, combine the rice, chicken stock, and water, and heat on HIGH. When the rice has begun to boil, turn the heat down to LOW, and simmer. In the meantime, cut the pork chop into small bite sized cubes. In a large wok, heat some vegetable oil to start cooking the pork. Drizzle some sesame oil over the pork, and add the garlic salt and sesame seeds, stirring to coat the pork evenly. Optional: When the pork is finished cooking, splash some liqueur over the pork. If on a gas stove, simply give the wok a strong shake to ignite the alcohol; otherwise, a grill lighter will do.

By now, the rice should be about done. It should have absorbed most of the liquid, but still soft and moist. Add the rice, leek, and tomato paste to the wok and stir.
