Welcome to Marisel's Kitchen Live, where we're cooking aroscaldo and tokwa’t baboy.

Begin with chopping ingredients: slice ginger and garlic finely, and chop chicken into smaller pieces.

Use a knife to peel ginger, or you can use a spoon if preferred.

For the soup, use chicken wings and skinless boneless chicken thighs for flavor.

Incorporate chicken bones for a richer broth if desired.

Chop garlic into small pieces to avoid large chunks in the soup.

Use a food processor for chopping as a shortcut, but a knife is preferred for ease of cleaning.

Heat corn oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Sauté ginger and garlic together until fragrant.

Add chopped onions to the pot and continue sautéing until translucent.

Add rice to the pot and mix well with the aromatics.

Pour in water or stock to cover the rice and chicken, and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and let simmer until the rice is cooked and the soup thickens.
