Arroz Caldo is a Filipino soup of chicken and rice cooked in ginger-enhanced chicken broth. Although the soup is undoubtedly derived from Chinese congee, introduced to the Philippines by Fujianese immigrants, the Spanish name, (literally translated to “rice soup”) exemplifies the multicultural heritage of Filipino cuisine.

Estimated preparation & cooking time: 50 minutes

Makes 6 servings

• 2 to 3 lb. chicken thigh or drumsticks(cut into serving pieces)
• 3 tbsp. vegetable or corn oil

Arroz a la cubana, means Cuban-style rice. Maybe the Philippines version came from our Spanish ancestors. The Philippine version consists of rice; ground beef sauteed with onions, garlic, tomato sauce, diced potatoes and diced carrots; a fried egg and a native plantain (saba), sliced length-wise and fried. I love dishes with anything that contains “saba” so here is a simple recipe I want to share with you.

Estimated preparation and cooking time: 1 hour

Serves 2 to 4 persons

• 1/2 cup ground pork
• 1/2 cup ground beef

• 2 cloves garlic
• 1/4 cup onion , sliced
• 1/3 cup tomatoes, sliced
• 4 saba bananas
