MANDAUE CITY, Cebu — Who hasn’t tasted champorado?
This chocolate rice porridge is a popular breakfast for most Filipinos, but this can also be eaten for snacks.
In some urban communities, children would line up to buy champorado from friendly neighborhood vendors for P5 to 10 per serving.
But there are also mothers who would rather prepare champorado in their kitchens and serve this hot to their kids.
Here’s how to prepare the typical champorado that we started to love when we were still kids:
Instructions:
Add water to a pot and allow it to boil. Add rice or sticky rice and stir.
Add the tablea and stir regularly until the chocolate has melted.
You can also add sugar if you want your champorado sweet.
Ladle into a bowl, drizzle with evaporated milk, and serve hot.
Yummy, isn’t it?
