Delicious Arroz Caldo Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup jasmine rice
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, peeled and sliced
• 1 pound chicken thighs, skinless and boneless, cut into pieces
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1 hard-boiled egg, halved (optional)
• Lemon wedges, for serving
• Chili flakes, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain and set aside.
2. In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat, then sauté the chopped onion, minced garlic, and sliced ginger until fragrant and the onion is translucent.
3. Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until lightly browned, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes.
4. Stir in the fish sauce, salt, and pepper, then add the rinsed rice, mixing well to coat the rice in the flavors.
5. Pour in the chicken broth, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the rice is cooked and the mixture is creamy.
6. Once cooked, adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions, hard-boiled egg halves, lemon wedges, and chili flakes if desired.
