Ingredients

• •Rice
• •Pork
• •Local spices

Steps

1. 1Rinse the rice and set it aside while you prepare the pork.
2. 2Cut the pork into small pieces, including a little fat if available, since the rendered fat is part of what flavors the rice.
3. 3Heat a heavy pot and cook the pork pieces over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they release their fat and turn lightly browned, about eight to ten minutes.
4. 4Add chopped onion, ginger, and garlic to the pot, sautéing until softened and fragrant in the rendered pork fat.
5. 5Stir in local spices and a small amount of turmeric, along with a little pork blood if using the traditional preparation, mixing well to coat the meat.
6. 6Add the rinsed rice to the pot and stir so the grains get coated in the flavorful fat and spices.
7. 7Pour in the appropriate amount of water for the rice, season with salt, then cover and cook on low heat for about 20 minutes, without stirring, until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid and flavor.
8. 8Let it rest covered for five minutes, then fluff gently and serve hot as a smoky, savory one-pot rice dish.
