How to Make Chicken Arroz Caldo | Jun-Blog. When I was little, my mom used to tell me whenever I had a bad cold or a bad day in school that there’s absolutely nothing a bowl of arroz caldo could not fix. I believed her without the faintest tinge of doubt. I believed her not only because I adored her but also because it was true — a humble bowl of chicken and rice gives warmth and comfort. It nurses the weary back to health. Arroz caldo is Filipino rice porridge or congee. Chicken and rice are slowly simmered in a delicious broth flavored with garlic, onions, ginger and fish sauce. It is ladled in bowls and served with hard-boiled eggs, spring onions, fried garlic, and calamansi.

Arroz Caldo Recipe, makes 6 servings Sauté the garlic in oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Cooking Notes 1. 2. 3.

Filipino Chicken Barbecue (Inihaw na Manok) By Ivory Hut Filipino barbecue is often marinated in a mixture that includes 7-Up or Sprite, likely for its tenderizing effect. Our family recipe contains no catsup, which is often mentioned in online recipes as either part of the marinade or a component of the basting mixture. This chicken is incredibly moist and flavorful, and the reduced marinade has just the right balance of sweet and savory, having cooked off the tartness of the vinegar. Paired with achara (pickled green papaya), it’s a classic Filipino combination. If you have concerns about boiling the used marinade, double the measurements for the marinade and set half aside for the basting mixture. Serves 4 Ingredients: In a large container that can hold the chicken pieces, combine all ingredients except chicken. Take the chicken out and transfer the pieces to a large plate. Heat your grill to 350 degrees or medium heat.

Take chicken off the grill, tent with foil, and let rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Chinese Wonton Noodle Soup | Steamy Kitchen. Monday, August 4, 2008 Wonton Noodle Soup It’s Chinese Wonton Noodle Soup time! A great dish to make for the Beijing 2008 Olympics!

Wonton Noodle Soup Recipe I love making wonton noodle soup with my kids! Wonton Wrapper The wrappers come frozen – just defrost in refrigerator overnight or on the counter for 40 minutes. Freezing Wonton If you’d like to freeze wonton (great idea for super easy quick meal) – lay the wrapped wonton in a single layer. To cook frozen wonton, the instructions are exactly the same. Boiling Wonton Put away your timer! For the Wonton Noodle Soup recipe below, I’d cook them in 3 separate batches – so that you don’t crowd the wonton.
