Method

  1. 01

    Soak the rice

    Cover the glutinous rice with water and soak it for 30 minutes. Drain it before cooking.

    30 min
  2. 02

    Boil the eggs

    Boil the eggs in water until hard, about 12–13 minutes. Peel them and cut them in half.

    13 min
  3. 03

    Brown the garlic and sauté the chicken

    Heat the oil in a pot and brown the garlic. Remove some for the topping. Add the onion and ginger and sauté; add the chicken and cook until the outside is lightly browned.

  4. 04

    Add the rice and broth

    Add the drained rice and stir briefly. Pour in the chicken broth and fish sauce; bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a gentle simmer.

  5. 05

    Simmer until thick

    Simmer gently for about 60 minutes, stirring occasionally so the rice does not stick. If the rice absorbs the liquid before becoming very soft, add hot water a little at a time.

    60 min
  6. 06

    Serve with the toppings

    Divide the arroz caldo among bowls. Add the eggs, reserved browned garlic, and spring onion; finish with lemon juice.
