About Lugao
Lugao, a traditional Filipino rice porridge, is a hearty and comforting dish often enjoyed as a breakfast or meal for the sick. Made by simmering rice in water or broth until it breaks down into a creamy consistency, it’s typically flavored with garlic, ginger, and green onions. Common toppings include shredded chicken, boiled eggs, fried garlic, and calamansi for added zest. Lugao is nutrient-rich, offering carbohydrates for energy and protein from chicken and eggs. Ginger and garlic provide anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties, making it a popular choice for recovery from illness. However, its sodium content can be high depending on seasoning or added sauces, so portion control is recommended. Its simplicity allows for easy customization, making it suitable for various dietary preferences. As both comfort food and a source of nourishment, Lugao remains a beloved staple in Filipino cuisine.
