Steps:
- Place both of the rices in a bowl, cover with cold water and set aside to soak. Place the chicken in a large saucepan or stockpot and cover with 2.5 litres (85 fl oz / 10 cups) water. Bring to the boil over medium heat, skimming any scum from the surface, then reduce the heat to low-medium and simmer for 40 minutes, or until the juices run clear when the thickest part of the thigh is pierced with a knife. Remove the chicken from the stock and set aside to cool slightly; reserve the stock.
- Put the vegetable oil and sliced garlic in a large saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously for 5 minutes, or until the garlic is golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel. Return the saucepan to the heat, add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring until soft. Add the chopped garlic and ginger and stir for a further 2 minutes, or until fragrant.
- Drain the rice, add to the pan with the onion and stir for 2 minutes, or until the rice grains are well coated. Add the fish sauce and 2 litres (68 fl oz / 8 cups) of the stock, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for 20 minutes, or until the rice is very soft and starting to break up, and the mixture has thickened. Thin with a little extra stock to a porridge-like consistency, then season with salt flakes.
- Shred the chicken, discarding the skin and bones. Divide three-quarters of the chicken among serving bowls, then ladle over the rice mixture. Top with the remaining chicken, then scatter with the fried garlic and spring onion. Serve with hardboiled eggs, sesame oil, if using, and kalamansi.

JACKIE'S TOFU AND CHICKEN ARROZ CALDO
My best friend (Jackie) gave me this recipe! I never saw Arroz Caldo topped with fried tofu. It's a combination of her mom's traditional Filipino arroz caldo, but she replaced the traditional strips of fried pork with tofu as garnish.

Steps:
- 1. In a large pot, heat oil and sauté garlic, onion, and strips of ginger.
- 2. Sprinkle in black pepper and bouillon cube.
- 3. Add chicken and brown.
- 4. Add patis and rice. Stir it around, cooking the rice a little, then slowly pour in water. Let it come to a boil.
- 5. Let the soup simmer until the rice softens and cooks. If you want to, throw in the hard boiled eggs. (Some people slice the hard boiled eggs and others slice them up. Others don't put the hard boiled eggs in at all.)
- 6. Sprinkle in the saffron. If you don't feel like it's the color you want, you can add in a little more to give it a deeper color.
- 7. While the rice is simmering, heat oil in a separate pan and fry tofu squares. (You can add some salt and pepper to the tofu if you want). Brown the sides of the tofu and garlic. I LOVE it with the garlic!!
- 8. Scoop into serving bowls and garnish with garlic, green onions, tofu, and kalamansi.
Tips:
- Use high-quality rice for the best results. Jasmine or long-grain rice are good choices.
- To make the rice more flavorful, toast it in a pan with a little oil before cooking it in the broth.
- If you don't have any chicken broth, you can use water instead. However, the broth will give the soup a richer flavor.
- Add more or less ginger, garlic, and leeks according to your taste. If you like a spicy soup, you can also add a pinch of chili flakes.
- If you don't have any chicken, you can use pork or beef instead. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Serve the soup with a side of lime wedges, fish sauce, and chili sauce. These condiments will help to brighten up the flavors of the soup.
