Arroz Valenciana

Prepare 5-6 cups of cooked glutinous rice. Set aside.

Brown garlic in a pan, add onions, fish sauce, chicken meat and liver. Simmer until chicken is fully cooked. Add the cooked rice. Then pour 3-4 cups of coconut milk. Sprinkle with salt, little sugar and turmeric. Mix to even the flavors. Leave for a couple of minutes to cook. Add raisins and carrots. Simmer for 20 mins covered with banana leaf. Serve in a bilao or in a shallow pan.

Maja Blanca

Prepare the mixture in a large pot -- a box of cornstarch, 8 cups of coconut milk, sugar, yellow food coloring and a can of cream style corn. Cook over very low heat while constantly stirring. Stir until it thickens -- this may take about 30-40 mins. When done, pour the mixture to a container and let it stand for about 30 mins. Sprinkle with latik or grated cheese.
