Lugaw is a Filipino porridge with rice as its main ingredient no less. Lately though, my parents have been watching their sugar intake. My dad is diabetic and avoids white rice (which could be tough when you love Filipino food). I don’t want him to break his low-sugar diet but I also don’t want him to give up entirely on Filipino food. So when I make him lugaw, I switch rice to quinoa. Much to everyone’s surprise, the quinoa lugaw doesn’t taste that much different from its rice counterpart.
