When needed, place a vessel on the stove and add about 1.5 cups of water - preferably boiled water to help speed up the process - turn on to medium. Now mix in 2 tablespoons of the porridge powder and ensure that there are no lumps.

Let it boil for 5 minutes covered. Add salt and black pepper powder to taste. These are optional, though. [You may also stick to adding only sugar if you want it sweetened. If the fever or cold is doubted to be because of body heat/dry weather, you can add 1/2 cup of plain yogurt.] Once it starts to boil, turn off and serve.

Turmeric Arroz Caldo - Chicken Congee | Filipino rice porridge Turmeric Arroz Caldo - Chicken Congee | Filipino rice porridge
Turmeric, the miracle spice, is so "in" these days because of its health benefits. Since turmeric is already commonly added to steamed rice, why not add it to a congee (or lugaw in Filipino, or Arroz Caldo, or porridge)!The twist in this Chicken Arroz Caldo or lugaw recipe, aside from the Turmeric addition, is that I've pushed the "healthy" factor by using brown and red rice instead of white or sticky rice. Sounds good, hey? :)This dish is perfect for cold nights and rainy days. 😊
