LUGAW in Philippines

This is a very simple rice porridge that I make for when someone in my family gets sick. It's very simple and should be easy to digest and with minimal flavour. You can optionally drop an egg in and poach it for extra protein.

Back in my student days, I joined youth activities where a pot of refreshing mung bean porridge left a lasting impression. Cooking it in a rice cooker and sharing it with family brings back fond memories.

Turmeric, the miracle spice, is so "in" these days because of its health benefits. Since turmeric is already commonly added to steamed rice, why not add it to a congee (or lugaw in Filipino, or Arroz Caldo, or porridge)!The twist in this Chicken Arroz Caldo or lugaw recipe, aside from the Turmeric addition, is that I've pushed the "healthy" factor by using brown and red rice instead of white or sticky rice. Sounds good, hey? :)This dish is perfect for cold nights and rainy days. 😊

A light, nutritious dish, perfect for those who are sick or need to restore their health. Snake porridge is one of those nourishing meals.

Arroz Caldo literally means hot rice or rice soup/broth/stew. It’s a dish that is historically presented as a combination from the Spanish and Chinese influences. Though Spanish by name, this is quite similar to Chinese congee. This is definitely commonly a typical snack (merienda) for the Filipinos. Also, it's an excellent home remedy when you feel under the weather or feel sicky.It’s got such a mouth-watering aroma, with its heavily infused ginger flavour and crunchy garlic toppings. Deeeeelish!!!

Thank you for making this recipe popular! It’s perfect for breakfast, lunch, a late-night snack, or as a warming dish after drinks. This spicy and tasty porridge will warm you up!Recipe background:I love the spicy rice porridge from my favorite izakaya. When I asked the chef, he said adding gochujang makes it delicious! I’m sure the original has more ingredients, but I made a simple version with what I had at home.
