Ilocano cuisine is known for tasty dishes using available ingredients and straightforward cooking
owing to the practical and industrious nature of the locals. One of the popular Ilocano dishes is
Lusay, which is a noodle dish filled with flavour from the local bagoong or fish paste. It is often
enjoyed as an appetizer or a filling snack.
While Lusay is traditionally made with egg noodles and longganisa, you can create an updated
version using hearty and healthy ingredients such as tuna and Duru Bulgur wheat. While tuna has
Omega-3, Duru bulgur is high in fiber and folate to make your Lusay dish not only delicious, but also
packed with nutrients that are good for your heart.
Duru Bulgur can be a fiber-rich alternative to rice and noodles, and can be used in different ways
such as soups, as a pairing with meat and vegetable meals, pilaf, and even desserts.
You can find high-quality Duru Bulgur wheat in The Goodwill Market online catalogue, among other
well-curated items that fit your health-conscious lifestyle. Check out this Duru Bulgur-based Lusay
