Arroz Caldo, a beloved Filipino comfort food, has a rich history dating back to the pre-colonial era. This hearty rice porridge was originally introduced by Chinese immigrants and has since evolved into a staple dish in Filipino cuisine. The addition of chicken liver and gizzard brings a unique depth of flavor and texture to the dish, elevating its traditional roots. Renowned chefs in the Philippines, such as Margarita Fores and Claude Tayag, have put their own spin on this classic, incorporating the use of local, fresh ingredients. Today, the best versions of Arroz Caldo with chicken liver and gizzard can be found in authentic Filipino eateries across the country. The key to perfecting this dish lies in achieving a creamy consistency and infusing it with the distinct flavors of the organ meats. For those seeking an alternative method, some chefs recommend marinating the chicken liver and gizzard in soy sauce and calamansi before adding them to the simmering porridge, enhancing the overall taste profile.
