Arozcaldo Recipe

published by arzeniczenon on Jun 13, 2011

Sounds like Spanish to most of us but actually this recipe is purely Filipino. It’s basically congee in Chinese cuisine only that arozcaldo has its own ingredients that differs from a Chinese congee. This is a sumptuous dish especially serve when raining and usually serve to people who are sick or have colds and fever.

My hubby and I love to eat something we seldom eat during rainy days. And this recipe I just cooked last Thursday because it’s still raining due to a storm. This is supposed to be our early dinner menu but we ended up eating all of it for a snack.

Ingredients:

1-2 cups sticky rice

1 lb. chicken parts (a cut your choice)

2 thumbs ginger (julienne)

1 medium onion (minced)

1 head of garlic (minced)

2 pcs barks of lemon grass (crushed)

2 tablespoons fish sauce (the amount actually depends on your taste)

2 teaspoons of Salt and

1 teaspoon black/white pepper

Spring onion/onion leeks

1-2 cups chicken stock or 2 chicken cubes is just fine

Procedure:

1.       In a deep pan, brown all of the garlic and set aside some of it for garnishing.

2.       Sauté ginger, onion and lemon grass.

3.       Put in chicken parts until well cooked then add in salt and pepper. Simmer until cooked.

4.       Add in washed sticky rice and chicken stock. Simmer until cooked. Stir constantly though to avoid rice from sticking onto the pan.

5.       Add in fish sauce and pepper according to your taste.

6.       Garnish with fried garlic and onions springs. Serve hot and enjoy.

    This is a very popular soup nga, but I must admit, I stay from it, I call this soup. “Sopas ng may sakit”.
