CHICKEN ARROZ CALDO (CHICKEN RICE PORRIDGE)

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.

ARROZ CALDO (FILIPINO CHICKEN PORRIDGE)

Steps:

• Remove the skin from the chicken and then mince up the skin.
• Add the chicken skin and oil to a heavy bottomed pot (such as a dutch oven), and fry over medium-low heat until the skin is golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and set aside.
• Add the minced garlic and fry until the garlic is light brown, and not sizzling any more. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and set aside.
• Add the onions and ginger to the pot and fry until the onions have started to become tender (but not browned).
• Add the rice to the pot and fry for about 30 seconds, to coat every grain with oil.
• Add the chicken stock, fish sauce, salt, and white pepper along with the chicken thighs.
• Bring the mixture to a boil and skim off any scum or fat that floats to the top.
• Turn down the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook the chicken until it's fall-apart tender (about 30 minutes). Be sure to stir this a few times to keep the rice from burning to the bottom of the pot.
• When the chicken is tender, remove it from the pot, and shred the meat using two forks. Keep the shredded chicken covered until the porridge is done.
• The Arroz Caldo should be starting to get thick at this point, so be sure to stir it more frequently to keep it from burning. When it is your desired consistency, the porridge is done. I usually let cook for another 20-30 minutes. This is a good time to prepare all your condiments.
• When the porridge has thickened to your liking, taste it, and add more salt if needed.
• Return the chicken to the pot and stir it in to reheat.
• Serve the Arroz Caldo garnished with scallions, boiled egg, fried garlic, chicken cracklins, Calamansi, and additional fish sauce.

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.

HOW TO COOK ARROZ CALDO

Steps:

• Heat 8 cloves of the garlic in 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) of the oil for 1 to 2 minutes. Mince 8 of the garlic cloves and place them in a small saucepan. Stir in 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) of the canola oil and turn the burner to medium. Cook the garlic and stir it frequently until it turns pale brown. If you don't have canola oil, you can use vegetable oil.

Set the garlic aside while you prepare the rest of the arroz caldo. Once the oil cools, you can discard it or save it for another recipe.

• Stir in the ginger and 4 remaining cloves of garlic. Mince 1 tablespoon (6 g) of ginger and the rest of the garlic. Stir them into the onions and continue to cook them over medium-high heat for 1 minute. The garlic and ginger should become fragrant.
