🇵🇭 Philippines recipe
Arroz Caldo
Arroz Caldo is the Filipino version of congee, a warm, comforting rice porridge enriched with chicken, ginger, and garlic. Unlike plain congee, Arroz Caldo is vibrant with the flavor of sauteed ginger and garlic, and the rice is cooked until it breaks down into a thick, creamy porridge that is both nourishing and deeply satisfying. It is a go-to dish for cold mornings, rainy days, or whenever someone needs a warm hug in a bowl.
