Growing up in the Philippines, I occasionally feigned illness to miss a school day. My mother would then send our house help to buy and bring back every type of food I could think of, and one of my favorite requests was arroz caldo<\/em> from the wet market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And before she would leave for work, she would leave detailed instructions on what times I would be taking my paracetamol and when to warm up the arroz caldo for me. My mother has always been good that way, ever bent on making her children happy. Did she know I was faking sickness? Of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is arroz caldo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Arroz Caldo or aroskaldo<\/em> is a Filipino lugaw made of chicken and rice and flavored with fresh ginger, garlic, onions, and fish sauce. Although its name is derived from the Spanish arroz caldoso<\/em>, which means \"brothy rice,\" the rice gruel is more of a local adaptation of the congee introduced in the Philippines by Chinese immigrants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thick, hearty porridge is usually served in individual bowls with various toppings and condiments such as hard-boiled egg, chopped scallions, toasted garlic, and calamansi. It's especially popular for breakfast but is also commonly enjoyed as a midday snack or light dinner meal.<\/p>\n\n\n
