Over time, it evolved, blending different elements of Filipino culture to create multiple variations of lugaw. While some people may refer to arroz caldo as lugaw, it’s important to note that lugaw is a broader term encompassing various Filipino porridges, including arroz caldo, champurrado, and lelot balatong, among others.
