Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

200 g (7 oz / 1 cup) white glutinous rice
100 g (3 1/2 oz / 1/2 cup) jasmine or medium-grain rice
1.7 kg (3 lb 12 oz) whole chicken, jointed into 4 pieces, bone in
60 ml (2 fl oz / 1/4 cup) vegetable oil
9 garlic cloves, 6 thinly sliced, 3 finely chopped
1 large onion, finely chopped
4 cm (1 1/2-inch) piece ginger, peeled and cut into julienne
60 ml (2 fl oz / 1/4 cup) fish sauce
2 spring onions (scallions), very thinly sliced
6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and halved
Sesame oil (optional) and 8 kalamansi or lime wedges, to serve

Steps:

  • Place both of the rices in a bowl, cover with cold water and set aside to soak. Place the chicken in a large saucepan or stockpot and cover with 2.5 litres (85 fl oz / 10 cups) water. Bring to the boil over medium heat, skimming any scum from the surface, then reduce the heat to low-medium and simmer for 40 minutes, or until the juices run clear when the thickest part of the thigh is pierced with a knife. Remove the chicken from the stock and set aside to cool slightly; reserve the stock.
  • Put the vegetable oil and sliced garlic in a large saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously for 5 minutes, or until the garlic is golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel. Return the saucepan to the heat, add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring until soft. Add the chopped garlic and ginger and stir for a further 2 minutes, or until fragrant.
  • Drain the rice, add to the pan with the onion and stir for 2 minutes, or until the rice grains are well coated. Add the fish sauce and 2 litres (68 fl oz / 8 cups) of the stock, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for 20 minutes, or until the rice is very soft and starting to break up, and the mixture has thickened. Thin with a little extra stock to a porridge-like consistency, then season with salt flakes.
  • Shred the chicken, discarding the skin and bones. Divide three-quarters of the chicken among serving bowls, then ladle over the rice mixture. Top with the remaining chicken, then scatter with the fried garlic and spring onion. Serve with hardboiled eggs, sesame oil, if using, and kalamansi.

ARROZ CALDO



Arroz Caldo image

This aromatic Filipino-style rice porridge gets much of its flavor from ginger and fried garlic. Saffron, a Spanish influence on Filipino cooking, adds a golden hue. If you can find calamansi -- tart, fragrant Filipino citrus -- substitute them for the limes.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons canola oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
6 bone-in chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small onion, minced
One 1-inch piece of ginger, minced
3/4 cup jasmine rice
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Pinch of saffron, plus saffron threads saved for garnish
1 bay leaf, torn
2 tablespoons fish sauce, plus more for serving
Juice of 1 lime, plus 1 lime cut into wedges, for serving
1/3 cup thinly sliced scallion greens

Steps:

  • Heat a 5-quart pot over medium-high heat. Add the oil and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the garlic is fragrant and golden, about 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic to a paper-towel lined plate and set aside for serving. Remove the pot from the heat, leaving the garlic-infused oil in the pot.
  • Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Return the pot to the stove over medium-high heat, then add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook until the skin is golden, flipping halfway through, about 8 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a bowl. Add the onion, ginger, and rice to the pot. Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, 4 cups water, a pinch of saffron and the bay leaf. Return the chicken and juices to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a vigorous simmer.
  • Cook, partially covered, until the chicken is tender, the rice is cooked, and the arroz caldo is thickened, about 30 minutes. Discard the bay leaf, stir in the fish sauce and lime juice, and season with salt and pepper. Serve one chicken thigh per bowl and garnish with the fried garlic, scallion greens, freshly ground pepper, reserved saffron threads and lime wedges.

ARROZ CALDO WITH COLLARDS AND SOY-CURED EGG YOLKS



Arroz Caldo With Collards and Soy-Cured Egg Yolks image

The Filipino rice porridge called lugaw started out as a simple equation of rice, water and salt, until the conquistadors arrived in the 16th century and demanded more sumptuous dishes. Add tripe and innards to lugaw, and it becomes goto; with chicken and saffron, it is arroz caldo. It's looser and soupier than Chinese congee, cooked until you can't see individual grains. I put in collard greens to make it a balanced meal and use wings because of the high bone-to-meat ratio and the jiggly skin. (Keeping the bones in will give the broth more flavor.) The soy sauce-cured yolks are probably best at the two-hour mark - they get firmer and saltier the longer they cure, so follow your taste.

Categories     dinner, grains and rice, one pot, poultry, soups and stews, main course

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 servings (makes 12 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 eggs
2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola
1 medium yellow onion, minced
8 garlic cloves, minced
2 1/2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken flats and drumettes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup jasmine or other long-grain rice
10 cups chicken stock
1 pound collard greens, leaves ripped off stems, stems discarded and leaves roughly chopped
2 (2-inch) pieces skin-on ginger, each crushed into a few pieces, plus 1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and julienned, for garnish
2 large pinches of saffron
6 teaspoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons fish sauce
6 fresh calamansi or lemon wedges, for serving
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced, for serving

Steps:

  • Prepare the cured egg yolks - and save your egg carton, as it is the perfect egg-curing holder. You'll want to first remove the top of the eggs: Working with one at a time, tap each egg on a sharp corner of your work surface around the top third of the egg to pop off the crown. Pour the egg into one palm and let the egg white sink through your fingertips to separate the yolk from the whites, discarding the egg whites or saving them for another use. Gently slide the egg yolk back into its shell, top it with 1 teaspoon soy sauce, and swirl the yolk in its shell so the soy sauce is fully distributed, settling under the yolk as well. Transfer the egg yolk in its shell back into the egg container, setting it upright. Repeat with the remaining eggs, returning them all to the egg carton. Set aside to cure at room temperature.
  • In a large pot, heat the oil over medium. Add the onion and minced garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 7 minutes.
  • Add the chicken flats and drumettes, season with 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat starts to render, about 5 minutes. Stir in the rice until coated in fat. Increase the temperature to medium-high, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is toasted, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the stock, collards, crushed ginger pieces and saffron and bring to a boil over high.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is tender and almost falling off the bone, and the rice grains have broken down significantly, about 1 1/2 hours. The broth should be thinner than a Chinese congee, so add 1 cup of water at a time if the soup has thickened too much. Once you get to this stage, discard the crushed ginger pieces, which served as an aromatic.
  • Season the arroz caldo with the fish sauce, then divide among bowls. Top with a squeeze of calamansi or lemon (and serve additional wedges on the side, for those that like more acid), a soy-cured yolk, fried garlic, scallions and julienned ginger.

ARROZ CALDO

This is the way I cooked Arroz Caldo. I never used glutenous rice, I just used jasmine rice instead of it since I found the glutenous very sticky. The starchy texture of jasmine rice is already to make a very delicious Arroz Caldo. Vegetables are also added to complete the nutrients on it.

JACKIE'S TOFU AND CHICKEN ARROZ CALDO



Jackie's Tofu and Chicken Arroz Caldo image

My best friend (Jackie) gave me this recipe! I never saw Arroz Caldo topped with fried tofu. It's a combination of her mom's traditional Filipino arroz caldo, but she replaced the traditional strips of fried pork with tofu as garnish.

Provided by Desiree Taimanglo-Ventura

Categories     Chicken Soups

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 lb chicken. (i like to use boneless, skinless chicken to make it healthier; but it's usually made with regular chicken pieces cut up).
2 Tbsp cooking oil
1 cube of chicken bouillon
1 1/2 c uncooked calrose rice
1 l of water
2 Tbsp patis
1 clove garlic (minced)
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 medium onion (minced)
4 eggs, hard boiled
1 c minced green onions
2 chunks of ginger sliced thinly
3 Tbsp saffron
5 kalamansi lemons
1 package of extra firm tofu cut into squares (as much or as little as you want.)
2 Tbsp cooking oil (to fry tofu separately)
1/2 clove garlic sliced thinly (for frying and using as garnish) *optional

Steps:

  • 1. In a large pot, heat oil and sauté garlic, onion, and strips of ginger.
  • 2. Sprinkle in black pepper and bouillon cube.
  • 3. Add chicken and brown.
  • 4. Add patis and rice. Stir it around, cooking the rice a little, then slowly pour in water. Let it come to a boil.
  • 5. Let the soup simmer until the rice softens and cooks. If you want to, throw in the hard boiled eggs. (Some people slice the hard boiled eggs and others slice them up. Others don't put the hard boiled eggs in at all.)
  • 6. Sprinkle in the saffron. If you don't feel like it's the color you want, you can add in a little more to give it a deeper color.
  • 7. While the rice is simmering, heat oil in a separate pan and fry tofu squares. (You can add some salt and pepper to the tofu if you want). Brown the sides of the tofu and garlic. I LOVE it with the garlic!!
  • 8. Scoop into serving bowls and garnish with garlic, green onions, tofu, and kalamansi.

ARROZ CALDO



Arroz Caldo image

Despite its Spanish name, this dish is the Filipino version of the Chinese congee or porridge. It is slow cooked to perfection and it is especially good on cold winter night and gloomy days. Kasubha is the stamen of a local plant which imparts a slightly reddish or orangy tint to the arroz caldo. For convenience, it can easily be substituted with the more expensive saffron threads. The liver and the gizzard are optional.

Stir occasionally to make sure the rice doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot. Remove the eggs from the pot; set aside. Continue simmering the porridge until the rice is fully cooked, about 12 minutes longer. (The porridge should be quite thick, but if you like, thin it with a little water.) Taste, and add more fish sauce, if desired. Chop the scallions. Peel the eggs and cut them in half. To serve, ladle the porridge into serving bowls and top each with chopped scallions, a hard-cooked egg half and a big squeeze of lemon juice.

Arroz Caldo is a popular Filipino dish that originated from Chinese congee. It is a one-pot meal that commonly consists of chicken, ginger, garlic, and rice cooked together in a savory broth. This dish is a perfect comfort food option and is commonly consumed during cold, rainy days. Arroz Caldo is easy to make and customizable according to one's personal preference, making it a staple dish in Filipino households.

Ingredients

The primary ingredients for arroz caldo include chicken, rice, ginger, garlic, onions, and fish sauce. It can also be made with other meat kinds such as beef, pork, or seafood, depending on the choice of the cook. Additionally, it can be made using different seasonings such as soy sauce, scallions, and fried garlic for added flavor variety.

Preparation

To make arroz caldo, first, take chicken and remove its skin and fat before cutting it into serving pieces. Rinse them well with water and set aside. Next, pour oil into a large pot and heat it over medium-high temperature. Add ginger, garlic, and onions until they turn fragrant, then add the chicken and let it cook until brown for about ten minutes. Afterward, add fish sauce and sauté for another two minutes before pouring in water or chicken broth, depending on preference. The pot's contents should be boiled before adding rice and simmered until the rice fully soaks the broth. The mixture should then be stirred occasionally until the rice is fully cooked and tender. For added flavor, the soup can be seasoned with salt, scallions, fried garlic, and soy sauce. It can then be served hot, garnished with additional ingredients such as hard-boiled eggs and calamansi, a Philippine lime fruit.

Variations

While the traditional arroz caldo recipe includes chicken, other variations can be made by substituting or adding different ingredients. A popular variation is the use of beef instead of chicken, commonly known as “bulalo” arroz caldo. Pork can also be used, and these variations can have a stronger flavor compared to traditional chicken arroz caldo. In seafood arroz caldo, shrimp, fish, and squid can be added to provide an added taste for seafood lovers. Vegetarian and vegan options can also be made by replacing meat with mushrooms or tofu, making it more palatable to those with dietary restrictions.

Nutritional value

Arroz caldo's primary ingredient is rice, which is high in carbohydrates and provides a significant source of energy. Using chicken with the bone and skin removed is beneficial for those who have cholesterol and can be high in fat. In contrast, using tofu or mushrooms instead of meat can be beneficial for vegetarians or vegans. Additionally, arroz caldo can provide a high source of protein, vitamins, and minerals, depending on the ingredients used.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Arroz Caldo remains a popular Filipino dish for its simplicity, affordability, and versatility. It can be made with any preferred ingredients and seasonings according to one's preference, making it a flexible option. Arroz Caldo provides significant nutritional benefits and provides an excellent meal option for those with dietary restrictions. So if you are looking to try out a comfort food option, arroz caldo is a must-try for you.
Arroz caldo is a classic Filipino comfort food that is perfect for cold weather, rainy days, or when you just feel like having something warm and savory. It is a hearty rice porridge that is usually cooked with chicken, ginger, and garlic, and often topped with crispy fried garlic and chopped scallions. While arroz caldo is relatively easy to make, there are some tips and tricks that you can use to make your dish stand out. In this article, we will explore some valuable tips for making the perfect arroz caldo recipe.

Tip 1: Use quality ingredients

One of the most important things to keep in mind when making arroz caldo is to use high-quality ingredients. The ingredients that you use will directly affect the flavor and texture of your dish. When it comes to the chicken, it is best to use bone-in, skin-on chicken as it adds more flavor to the dish. You can use chicken thighs or drumsticks, which are more flavorful and tender compared to chicken breast. For the rice, it is important to use short-grain rice such as glutinous rice or sushi rice, which will give you a creamy texture. Do not substitute with long-grain rice or jasmine rice as it will result in a drier and grainy dish. When it comes to the aromatics, use fresh ginger and garlic for maximum flavor. Do not use powdered or dried ginger or garlic as they will not give you the same depth of flavor.

Tip 2: Do not rush the cooking process

Arroz caldo requires a slow and gradual cooking process, so do not rush it. It is best to start with a low flame to avoid burning the chicken or rice, and then gradually increase the heat. Simmer the chicken and rice mixture for at least 30-45 minutes, or until the rice has softened and the chicken is fully cooked. Stir the mixture occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

Tip 3: Be mindful of the liquid to rice ratio

One of the most important factors in making arroz caldo is the liquid to rice ratio. The ideal ratio is 1:3 or one cup of rice to three cups of liquid. This will give you a creamy and porridge-like consistency. However, you may need to adjust the ratio depending on the type of rice you use and how thick you want your arroz caldo to be. If you like a thicker consistency, use less liquid, and if you want it to be more soup-like, add more liquid.

Tip 4: Add flavor and texture with toppings

While arroz caldo is delicious on its own, you can add more flavor and texture by adding toppings. One of the most popular toppings is crispy fried garlic, which adds a crunchy texture and a nutty flavor to the dish. You can also add chopped scallions or green onions, which add a fresh and bright flavor to the dish. Other popular toppings include hard-boiled eggs, toasted peanuts, and fried tofu.

Tip 5: Experiment with different variations

Arroz caldo is a versatile dish, and you can experiment with different variations to find the one that suits your taste buds. For example, you can replace the chicken with pork, shrimp, or even tofu. You can also add different vegetables such as carrots, mushrooms, or corn. Adding turmeric or saffron will give your arroz caldo a vibrant yellow color, and you can spice it up with chili flakes or hot sauce.
Conclusion
Arroz caldo is a classic Filipino comfort food that is perfect for any occasion. By using high-quality ingredients, taking your time during the cooking process, and experimenting with different variations and toppings, you can create a delicious and comforting arroz caldo recipe that will have your family and friends asking for seconds.
