Champorado (Chocolate Porridge)
Champorado is a hit to most Filipino kids. Everytime I cook this for my daughter, I always remember how my grandma cooks it for me back then. Everytime she cooks, I always eat up the cocoa and sugar mixture and before she knows it, it’s already half-way empty. 
I told that story to my daughter and so everytime she asks for champorado, she asks that the story be told over again. She’s now the little me and I can see myself as my grandma who screams “anak, wala na akong ilalagay sa champorado… inubos mo na!!!”
see???
INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup cocoa
1 cup sugar (adjust sugar to your liking)
1/2 cup rice grains
water, casserole half-filled
milk (optional)
METHOD:
1. Mix together the cocoa and sugar.
2. Boil the rice in water until soft, broken and sticky, about 30-40 minutes.
3. Add in the cocoa-sugar mixture and mix well. Let boil for another 2-3 minutes.
4. Serve with or without evaporated/fresh milk.
I would like to try to make Champorado for my kids. Normally for the breakfast I cook them a fried rice and tomorrow it would be Champorado. Hope my kids will love it.
