Arroz Caldo Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir the onion, garlic, and ginger in the hot oil until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken wings; cook and stir together for 1 minute. Stir the fish sauce into the pot, cover, and cook another 2 minutes.
• Pour the chicken broth into the pot. Add the sweet rice and stir. Bring the mixture to a boil; cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to assure the rice is not sticking to the bottom of the pot. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with the green onion, and serve with lemon slices and additional fish sauce, if desired.

Steps:

• Wash the mixed long-grain and glutinous rice and drain well.
• Heat the cooking oil in a large heavy casserole.
• Fry the minced garlic until crisp and toasted. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Add the ginger to oil and sauté until golden. Add the onion and continue sautéing until the onion is transparent. Add the crushed garlic and sauté till lightly browned.
• Add the chicken pieces and the gizzard, lightly season with salt, fish sauce and pepper, cover and cook for 10 minutes.
• Pour in the drained rice. Coat with oil and juices and continue stirring until translucent. Add the water infused saffron threads.
• Pour in the broth, while stirring. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently, lower the heat, cover and simmer until the rice grains are soft and the chicken pieces are falling off the bones.
• Adjust seasoning according to taste. Bring to a soft boil then add the liver. Simmer for 5 minutes. Do not overcook the livers.
• Sprinkle with toasted garlic and chopped green onion. Serve hot with lemon and egg wedges on the side.

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.

Steps:

• Heat 2 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; add 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
• Wash glutinous rice and jasmine rice in a bowl; rinse with water.
• Heat remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large saucepan; cook red onion, ginger, and 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic until aromatic, about 3 minutes. Add chicken and cook until brown, about 15 minutes. Stir in rice; cook 1 minute more. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in chicken stock. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and let simmer, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add more chicken stock if desired. Remove from heat.
• Mix in fish sauce. Top with eggs, green onion, and remaining toasted garlic.

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.

Steps:
