Filipino chicken arroz caldo

Filipino rice porridge with glutinous rice and chicken, cooked with ginger and broth, and served with egg, browned garlic, spring onion, and lemon.

This Filipino version combines chicken, glutinous rice, ginger, and broth until the rice is very soft and the porridge is thick. The boiled egg, browned garlic, spring onion, and lemon are added when serving. Arroz caldo has variations using different rice and seasonings; this recipe follows the chicken-and-ginger version.
