This is a simple version of this recipe that is really quick and easy to make for an everyday meal. If you want to give it some extra touch for serving on occasions, look at my notes below.

Bringhe is actually the name of this dish in my hometown, Pampanga. You can get away with making this dish using so little ingredients as long as the main ones are present: the sticky rice, turmeric, coconut milk, and chicken.   Other Kapampangan I know also use the chicken gizzard and liver, yum! I would too but Armin is not a big fan of innards.
