description Bringhe Overview
Bringhe is a Kapampangan rice dish from the Philippines, traditionally associated with Pampanga. It uses glutinous rice cooked with coconut milk and turmeric, giving the dish a yellow color and a texture different from rice dishes made with ordinary long-grain rice; chicken is a common accompaniment, and recipes may also include chorizo, vegetables, seafood, raisins, or eggs. Bringhe is often described as a Filipino or Kapampangan adaptation of paella, but its coconut-milk cooking method gives it a distinct regional character.
