Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups of jasmine rice

- 10 cups of chicken broth
- 1 head of garlic, minced
- 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, peeled and minced

- 3 tablespoons of fish sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper

Instructions
- In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil over medium heat.

- Add the chicken thighs to the pot and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
- Stir in the jasmine rice and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

- Serve hot and enjoy the extra garlic and ginger flavor!
Arroz Caldo, a Filipino rice porridge, has a rich history dating back to the pre-colonial era. This comforting dish was influenced by Chinese traders who introduced rice and ginger to the Philippines. The addition of extra garlic and ginger adds a bold and aromatic flavor to the traditional recipe. Renowned chefs in the Philippines, such as Margarita Fores, have elevated this dish by incorporating their own unique twists. The best version of Arroz Caldo can be found in the bustling streets of Manila, where vendors skillfully prepare this dish with an abundance of garlic and ginger. To achieve the perfect Arroz Caldo, it's crucial to infuse the broth with ample garlic and ginger, creating a harmonious balance of flavors.
