Bringhe
Bringhe is a flavored rice dish much like paella. It is made of malagkit (glutinous) rice cooked in gata(coconut milk), colored and flavored with turmeric, and topped with chicken, pork, and vegetables. It is traditionally cooked in banana leaves to prevent it from sticking to the pan and to make it aromatic. It originated in Pampanga and is served at country weddings and town fiestas in the Northern Luzon.
