One lazy afternoon, classes was suspended due to strong typhoon, so the whole family was present. The weather was so cold so I decided to cook something hot to warm the body. I planned to cook Champorado (Chocolate porridge) but I have no stock of cocoa powder (I’m using Hershey’s). Then I saw chicken in the freezer, fine,  it will be  Arroz Caldo (chicken rice porridge) for our merienda (afternoon snack).

Ingredients:

• 2 cups  uncooked sticky rice (malagkit)
• 1/2 kilo chicken cut into pieces
• 1 med. onion chopped
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 tbsp. chopped ginger
• 2-3 tbsp. fish sauce (patis)
• 1 chicken cube
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp cooking oil

• In a deep sauce pan, saute ginger, garlic and onion
• Add the chicken and stir occasionally, when chicken changed color
• Add fish sauce or patis, let it simmer to make the chicken absorb the taste of patis
• Add 6-8 cups of water and simmer until chicken is cooked or tender.
• Add the sticky rice and chicken cube,  continue cooking with constant stirring to prevent rice from sticking at the bottom of the pan.
• When the rice started to burst and soften, season with salt and pepper.
• Remove from heat and serve hot, garnish with fried garlic and  spring onion.

You can partner it with fried tokwa (tofu) and boiled pork dipped in the mixture of vinegar, onion, garlic, soy sauce and little sugar.

Enjoy!

Because of the humid weather and hot room temperature, any left over food including rice is easily get spoiled, to prevent this I always store them in the refrigerator overnight and reheat to be  eaten on the next day.  Or make another recipe using these left-overs.

Do you have left-over rice from dinner last night? If you do and don’t want to eat it plain, you can cook it again by adding different ingredients to enhance the flavor.

This is my own version of Fried Rice or Sinangag in Filipino.

Ingredients:

• 3-4 cups left-over cooked rice
• minced garlic
• 1 cup  mixed veggies like corn, greenpeas, carrot (can be bought in the supermarket in packs)
• cooking oil
• salt
• 3 pcs. hotdogs chopped
• 1 egg

***************************************************************************************

• Saute garlic in oil.
• Then add and stir fry the mixed veggies to keep it crispy.
• Add the chopped hotdogs continue cooking until the hotdogs are done
• Add the rice and stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking in the pan.
• When the rice is already cooked, season with salt
• Add the egg and continue cooking for a few minutes or until the egg is done.
• Serve hot.
• Best  partner with coffee or hot choco.

This Fried Rice is already a complete meal by itself because of all the ingredients added.

Tip: you can also use fresh steamed rice if you don’t have any left-over, just let it cool to vaporize some of the water.

Variation: you can use ham, bacon or any cold-cuts you have in the fridge, or left-over meat dish too like adobo, fried chicken or barbecue, the choice is endless, just be creative.
