ARROZ CALDO

1 lb Chicken (cut up skin removed)
4 -5 pcs Ginger (sliced thinly)
½ c Uncooked rice
1-2 TBSP Oil
1 onion
Green Onion (garnish)
Water

Patis
Pepper

Saute ginger pieces in the heated oil. Add chicken pieces and sear on all sides to seal the juice in.

Add enough water to cover the chicken. Bring to boil.

Add the uncooked rice and stir to mix rice into chicken. Make sure water covers the rice/chicken mixture. Boil for about 2-5 minutes then turn to very low heat. Simmer for 30 minutes. Check often to make sure there’s still enough water. Stir only occasionally.

To reheat leftovers, add some water before heating.

Makes around 4 servings.
