Champorado de Gata

Champorado is a sweet chocolate rice breakfast meal in the Philippines. This is made by boiling sticky rice with cocoa powder and sugar. This is normally boiled in low heat while continuously stirring to crush the rice grains making the cocoa powder be absorbed by them. Once cooked, it is normally added with milk to add more sweetness to it. Another variant of this meal is the use of coconut milk while cooking; in this case, milk is optional. This can be taken also as snack, others eat dried fish together with this. 

Champorado

Since I ran out of supply of the sticky rice, I only used plain rice instead. I just let the rice boil while stirring and crushing them. Also, I used coconut milk in this one.

Ingredients:

- 1 ½ cup rice

- 5 cups water (or more depending on your preference)

- ½ cup cocoa powder

- ¾ cup coconut milk diluted in water

- 1 cup of sugar

Procedure:

- wash rice twice

- combine rice with water and cook for 15minutes in medium heat

- check if the rice grains are already cooked, lower the heat

- while boiling, stir-crush the rice grains continuously until the desired texture is met

- gradually add cocoa powder and mix thoroughly with the rice mixture

- add sugar and mix well

- add coconut milk and mix well, let boil while stirring for another two minutes

- remove from heat and serve
