Lugaw is a Filipino rice porridge made by boiling glutinous rice with garlic, ginger, and salted broth until thick and creamy. Traditionally served hot and boiled slowly, it originated in Luzon and is commonly eaten for breakfast, during rainy days, or as a comforting food for the sick. It can be enjoyed plain or topped with ingredients like toasted garlic, scallions, or a hard-boiled egg. A humble dish with Chinese roots, Lugaw has become deeply Filipino in identity, offering warmth, simplicity, and nourishment in every bowl.

Common variations include Arroz Caldo (with chicken and saffron) and Goto (with beef tripe and innards).
