Brian&#8217;s been using it because he does most of the cooking, but I hadn&#8217;t really. This was my chance to play with it without Brian hovering over me and watching every move I make.

My favorite versions of <em>lugaw<\/em> always have chicken so that&#8217;s the meat that you see floating around in there. I mostly used garlic and herb seasoning for flavor, and lots of salt and pepper. I thought it was missing something, so I added ginger powder. I was afraid that I added too much at first, but it actually turned out good. I did add too much basil for my liking, though. I had a can of condensed tomato soup in the pantry that I was going to throw in there as well, but then I stopped myself. It was going to be hard enough to get Brian to eat this as it is; it will be even harder if I make it red. I think that might have tasted good, though.<\/p>\n<p>I like my rice super wet but Brian is not a fan of <em>sabaw<\/em>. When I had him try it the first time, he liked the flavor but not the texture. I think it was too soupy for him. After resting for a while, the rice absorbed most of the <em>sabaw<\/em> so when we reheated it later that evening it was just the right consistency for him. He said he would actually eat it again. FTW!
