About Lugaw
Lugaw is a comforting Filipino dish often enjoyed as a hearty breakfast or snack. It is a rice porridge made by boiling glutinous or regular rice in water or broth until soft and creamy. Commonly flavored with garlic, ginger, and onions, Lugaw is often garnished with scallions, boiled eggs, fried garlic, or chicken. Variations include adding meat such as pork or beef tripe, which turns it into arroz caldo or goto. Lugaw is nutrient-dense, providing energy through carbohydrates and essential vitamins and minerals depending on added ingredients like chicken and ginger. The simplicity of Lugaw makes it easy to digest, making it ideal for those recovering from illness. However, certain toppings or added oils can increase its calorie and fat content. As a versatile and warm dish, Lugaw balances comfort with nourishment, offering a delicious glimpse into the culinary traditions of the Philippines.
