Note from Delish:

I grew up eating lots and lots of arroz caldo since our family owns a mini refreshment and we serve arroz caldo and batchoy. So I am very much familiar with this snack. I’m using turmeric powder to add color to the dish, some are using saffron or even food coloring. Some people also doesn’t add ginger, but I find it delicious if it has a kick of ginger taste.
