Arroz Valenciana is served during holidays and special occasions. Since it is only a few days before Christmas, I am featuring this dish so that you can have more options for your family’s Noche Buena or Christmas parties. This is also a perfect dish to serve during New Year’s eve dinner.

    Hello Vanjo! I used to prepare my family’s Noche Buena back in the Phils. It’s been years since I did as we always joined friends’ Christmas parties. This COVID year gave me time to prepare a small Noche Buena at home.

    Thank you for this delicious Valenciana recipe! OMGosh it’s so good! I followed the recipe to the T! It took a loooong time to cook (rice & malagkit) -- and seasoned friends were giving me their “short-cut” tips with the rice part (pre-cook). But I think your (traditional) way is way much, much better!

    This recipe is a 5-star for me! This was a nice “come-back” for me. Thanks so much!
    Oh! I also prepared your Macaroni Sopas -- which was equally delicious & filling!!! I had to “make space” for the Valenciana!

    I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your family!

    iba ata ang style ng pag-luto mo..
    pero alam q masarap din..nilagay q din ang tomatoe..pro ang pag luto q sa malagkit na rice ay niluto q sa rice cooker with turmeric powder.. Sobrang sarap kahit sa amoy palang. Lasang pinoy na pinoy! Hehe..

    Dear chef,
    I love the way you demonstrate your cooking techniques.thanks to all your videos I learned so many different types of recipes. Question can I use Chinese sausage instead of chorizo. Thanks again and happy new year. .
