MARINADE 1/4 cup vegetable oil 2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark rum 2
teaspoons dark Oriental sesame oil 1 small onion, sliced

STICKY RICE 1 cup long-grain white rice (not converted)
2 tablespoons rice-wine

Thinly slice pork. Layer a
small amount of rice, then beans on each warm tortilla.
