<img src="arrozcaldo.gif" alt="arrozcaldo with malungay cooking procedure " />

During rainy season, we want hot soup or hot meal on our table. Arrozcaldo is one of the best meal to serve in breakfast. This recipe is not the classic arrozcaldo. I put a twist in it by adding malunggay leaves. Malunggay is very well known in the Philippines when it comes to nutrients and vitamins thus making this simple recipe to be one of the healthy recipes that you can offer to your family.
