Arroz Caldo Recipe (Filipino Porridge)

December 6th, 2010 at 08:59 pm

The frigid weather makes me crave more comfort food. Arroz caldo is one of my favorite Filipino comfort foods. It’s basically, Filipino porridge, much like Chinese congee or jook. But what’s different about arroz caldo is that it has so much more flavor than Chinese porridge. There’s ginger, fried garlic, and fish sauce to spice it up.

I use whatever rice I have on hand – brown, jasmine, calrose, long grain, or short grain. You can even mix them up. Also, if you have sweet rice, substitute it with one rice cooker size cup, which will make the arroz caldo creamier.



Fried garlic is sold in a plastic container at Asian grocery stores. It makes it much easier than chopping and frying your own garlic.

After making the arroz caldo, we can eat it over several days. You can also freeze it, which is what Filipino restaurants do.

After making this countless times, I’ve come up with an easy and quick way to make arroz caldo, by cooking the rice first and using a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken.

    In Spanish, arroz con caldo means rice with chicken,beef and fish stock. We (meaning hispanics) eat arroz con caldo usually with beef chuncks and potatoes like in a stew. Your dish looks delicious!

    Yesterday, I was in a supermarket where they had something very similiar to what you show here. It is called Sopa de Pollo (Spanish). They added one ingredient to it that I had never had and it was corn. Don't know if it was fresh, canned, or frozen; but the corn really gave it just a little sweet taste. Alot of people liked it and it was thick like yours shows up here. Really looks good.
