Steps:
- Make the curtido: In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, onion, and carrots. Pour the boiling water over the vegetables and toss. Let sit for 10 minutes, then drain.
- In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the vinegar, oregano, and salt. Pour over the slaw and toss to coat. Once thoroughly mixed, transfer the curtido any any leftover liquid in the bowl to an airtight jar or container.
- Chill for at least 20 minutes in the refrigerator, or chill overnight for best results.
- Make the chicharrón: Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the pork shoulder and salt. Cook for 15 minutes without disturbing. If the pork is browning too quickly, reduce the heat to medium. Turn the pork over and let cook on the other side for 10 minutes more, or until crispy and golden brown.
- Transfer the pork to a food processor and add the tomato, green bell pepper, and onion. Pulse until a thick paste forms. The mixture should not be watery. Set aside.
- Make the pupusa dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the masa harina and salt, then add the water. Use your hands to mix until the dough comes together with a clay-like texture.
- Fill a small bowl with water and a bit of oil and set near your work station. You'll wet your fingers with the mixture as you work to keep the dough from sticking to your hands.
- Take a golf ball-sized portion of dough and roll into a ball, then flatten into an even round.
- Fill the dough round with ½ tablespoon chicharrón paste, 1 teaspoon refried beans, and 1 teaspoon mozzarella cheese. Fold the dough over the filling until it's completely sealed. Then, pat out the ball between your hands until flat. If the pupusa cracks, patch it with a bit of dough and a little oil. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Heat a large pan or griddle over medium heat. Brush with vegetable oil, then place 2-3 pupusas on the pan and cook for 2-4 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown. Flip and cook on the other side for 2-4 minutes more, until golden brown and warmed through. Repeat with the remaining pupusas.
- Serve the pupusas with curtido.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your Salvadoran rice. Use fresh vegetables, flavorful broth, and high-quality rice.
- Rinse the rice before cooking: Rinsing the rice removes excess starch, which can make the rice gummy. Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Use the right amount of liquid: The amount of liquid you use will depend on the type of rice you are using. Long-grain rice typically requires 1 ¾ cups of liquid for every cup of rice, while short-grain rice requires 1 ½ cups of liquid for every cup of rice.
- Bring the liquid to a boil before adding the rice: Bringing the liquid to a boil before adding the rice helps to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low: Once the liquid has come to a boil, cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Simmer the rice for 18-20 minutes, or until all of the liquid has been absorbed.
- Let the rice rest before serving: After the rice has finished cooking, let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the rice to absorb any remaining liquid and fluff up.
Conclusion:
Salvadoran rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or as a main course. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken or vegetables. There are many different ways to make Salvadoran rice, but the tips above will help you make a perfect pot of rice every time.
