Arrozcaldo( Rice Porridge) and Tokwa( Bean Curd)


 I was craving  for  Arrozcaldo and Tokwa  since last week but I can't find any glutinous rice around the area and the tokwa can only be found in the Filipino stores which is quite far  from my place.Around 15 minutes drive ,hehehe! yeah right ,for me it is far coz I am a lazy driver.

At last ,hubby took time off from work to do some business at the bank near the Filipino stores or we calls it Filipino souq (store) in the Middle East .I asked him to dropped me off and my little boy at the store and just get back to us when he is done.



I got me tokwa  for QR 12 only ( $3 ) and some grocery stuff.Then hubby came back to pick us up .Guess what I forgot when we were home ? Glutinous rice. Well .what else do I have in the fridge to get a taste of that tokwa right away. I have ,bean sprout ,carrots and green pepper.Okay,that will work.Just need some sauteing  and  frying .Here is my sauteed veggies with tokwa.



The following day ,hubby and me went to his favorite store, Megamart .I looked  for some glutinous rice but to no avail so I got me something instead.A pack of instant Arrozcaldo.Good enough for me and better than nothing.I just added a cup of cooked rice and let it boiled.Put  some some flaked left over chicken breast and hard boil egg. I fried  some bean curd too dipped  in soy sauce and vinegar , a little sugar and chopped pepper..And here goes my finish product .





And my dessert was Del Monte Pineapple fresh from the Philippines.

  16. We're also having arrozcaldo now. Yes, it goes along pretty well with tokwa. And pineapple makes a great appetizer or dessert depending on your practice.
