Beef arrozcaldo...essentially the Filipino version of congee


I tried doing the beef version first. Did the chicken version when my sister got sick. I prefer the chicken version.

Mince up some garlic...I usually do about four cloves. Toss it in a pot in some cooking oil. Slice up some onions and put that in the pot. Cut up some ginger and toss that in as well. Put in a bouillon cube (chicken or beef depending on which meat you'll be using) and mash it up with what you have in your pot. Add the meat in there. Once your meat is cooked through, add the water. Then you add your uncooked rice. The rice will cook in pot and after some time it should get to that porridge texture. You can always add more water if you don't like it too thick.

For the chicken version you can also add hard boiled eggs in it. When you serve it, add in the sliced green onions and some saffron powder. And there you go. Some Filipino comfort food for you, or something nice to enjoy when the weather gets cold.
