Arroz Caldo (Chicken Rice Porridge)

Arroz Caldo literally means hot rice or rice soup/broth/stew. It’s a dish that is historically presented as a combination from the Spanish and Chinese influences. Though Spanish by name, this is quite similar to Chinese congee. This is definitely commonly a typical snack (merienda) for the Filipinos. Also, it's an excellent home remedy when you feel under the weather or feel sicky.
It’s got such a mouth-watering aroma, with its heavily infused ginger flavour and crunchy garlic toppings. Deeeeelish!!!
