Lauya /ˈlɑːjɑː/ is a Filipino stew. Its name is derived from the Spanish-Filipino term "la olla" (lit. "the ceramic pot"), likely referring to the native clay pots (banga) in which stews were made in.[1][2] It is now often associated with the Ilocano stew typically made with pork or beef.[3][4][5] The term is sometimes used in Ilonggo cuisine.[6][7]

Like many other Filipino dishes, this savory dish is often paired with a side of cooked rice.
