Turmeric, the miracle spice, is so "in" these days because of its health benefits. Since turmeric is already commonly added to steamed rice, why not add it to a congee (or lugaw in Filipino, or Arroz Caldo, or porridge)!

Steps to make Turmeric Arroz Caldo - Chicken Congee | Filipino rice porridge
- Heat 1T oil in a pot. Sauté onions, garlic then the ginger.
- Add the (salted) chicken pieces then cover. Let its juices come out, then turn on the other side. Drop in the bay leaf (optional). Season with pepper.
Add a cup of water and let it simmer. - Note on ginger: if you're not fond of chewing ginger pieces in your dish, slice them big enough so you can remove them after cooking.
- Stir in the Turmeric powder and the bullion or stock cubes. Cover for a few minutes.
- Add the remaining water and the washed rice. Cover and let the rice cook.
- Check your pot and taste. Adjust seasoning accordingly, add a bit more water if you think it’s drying out. Continue to simmer until you reach consistency like in photos (above and cooksnaps)
- Garnish: In a pan, heat the remaining oil. Sauté the chopped pork belly (optional, tastes great when sprinkled on top with garlic) and garlic until golden. I added ginger, as I'm fond of fried ginger, and also adds to the flavor. When crisp, but not burnt, remove and set aside.
- I ran out of scallions so I fried some chopped onions instead. Set aside. I also chopped up a couple stems of celery/cilantro or parsley (optional), adds a nice subtle freshness to the dish.
- Serve in a bowl and sprinkle the fried garnishes and chopped celery or scallions on top. Add a squeeze of kalamansi or lemon/lime. Eat while hot. Enjoy. (In photo: I added chili powder on mine 😝)
