Beef Lugaw

Lugaw (pronounced “loo-gow”) is soup to which rice is added to make a porridge-like consistency. In the Philippines, it is often made with beef or beef and tripe; with pork stock, stomach and intestines; or with chicken and various vegetables. Beef lugaw is generally unadorned with vegetables, so serve a simple salad on the side. You will need a big pot to make the stock.
