Yellow Arroz Caldo is another version that I have for you. This recipe makes use of packaged yellow rice, which is better known as arroz amarillo. The yellow rice is not literally yellow. The package includes herbs and spices that makes the rice turn yellow when cooked.

Yellow Arroz Caldo or any congee in general is best eaten during cold weather. I like to have it when it is very hot because it keeps me warm. It works better for me if I have it with a dip of chili flakes and fish sauce. Squeezing lime or calamansi (and even lemon) on your arroz caldo will make it more enjoyable to eat.
