Arroz Caldo, January 16, 2010

Found this cool blog, Burnt Lumpia that features a recipe for arroz caldo, also known as lugaw...


Similar to the Chinese congee that is served at dim sum, arroz caldo, as we called it at our house, is a chicken and rice porridge flavored with ginger and scallions...

Most Filipino food was strange to us, but arroz caldo was a big treat when my sisters and I were growing up, perhaps because the flavors are gentler, the rice comforting, and the chicken less subtle than the all-meat-all-the-time cuisine that is more typical...

Will try Burnt Lumpia's recipe soon... Would be great for the rainy weather that is ahead...
