Chicken Arroz Caldo with Salted Egg

Chicken Arroz Caldo with Salted Egg. I have been always thinking of salted egg on my Lugaw every time I have an Arroz Caldo or Lugaw meal. Today I have a change to try one, Chicken Arroz Caldo with Salted Egg. Egg in toppings on a Lugaw or Porridge is not extraordinary. We Pinoy always have it in our lugaw in place of the meat ingredients, some Chinese porridge are topped with salted egg or even use century egg.

Chicken Arroz Caldo with Salted Egg, is of course better that using regular boiled egg. Obviously salted eggs are already salty which complements with the boiled rice, salted eggs have a nuttier texture compared to the regular egg.

Here is the recipe of my Chicken Arroz Caldo with Salted Egg.

Ingredients:

1/2 kilo chicken, cut into serving pieces,
2 cups glutinous rice
1 cup regular rice
1/2 head garlic, chopped
1 medium size onion, chopped
2-3 thumb size ginger, cut into thin strips
1/4 cup fish sauce
1 tsp. turmeric powder
salt and pepper
cooking oil

For garnishing:

1/2 head garlic chopped, crispy fried, reserve oil
1 small bundle spring onion, chopped
salted eggs, cut into slices or quartered
kalamansi

Cooking procedure:

Wash chicken and drain, keep aside. Wash glutinous rice and regular rice, keep aside. In large sauce pan sauté garlic, ginger and onion add in the chicken and the fish sauce, stir cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until color changes to golden brown. Add in the rice and stir cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, until all the juices is absorbed by the rice. Now add enough water, bring to a boil and simmer for 30 to 35 minutes or until rice start to disintegrate and form a thick rice soup add more water as necessary. Add in the turmeric powder and season with salt and pepper to taste, cook for another 3 to 5 minutes. Serve with chopped spring onion, fried garlic and topped with salted egg.
