Cook the Pork
In a large pot, add the marinated pork leg and pour in 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 2 hours or until the meat is tender and falls off the bone. Add water as needed to keep the meat submerged.

Cook the Rice
In a separate pot, rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice, 2 cups of water, and 1 tsp of salt in the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
