Food Friday: Champorado

Friday, June 6th, 2008

Champorado (Tagalog: tsamporado) is a sweet chocolate rice porridge in Filipino cuisine. It is traditionally made by boiling sticky/sweet rice and cocoa powder giving it a distinctly brown color. However, dry champorado mixes, which may be found in some Asian food stores, are prepared by adding just boiling water. It can be served hot or cold and with milk and sugar to taste. It is served usually at breakfast and sometimes together with dried fish locally known as tuyo.

The pudding becomes very thick and the lighter milk helps to “loosen” it. It’s almost like eating “chocolate oatmeal.” It can be eaten as a snack or dessert as well. Sweet rice can be found in most Asian aisles of a grocery store.

I love eating champorado for breakfast. Not everyday, though. At least once in a while. I know some people eat this with tuyo but I haven’t tried it yet. Is it good?

Happy Friday everyone! Have a fun weekend! :)

    I do love it with tuyo … contrast between the sweet porridge and the saltiness of the tuyo is interesting and appetizing para sakin, hehe. dami ko nakakain pag ganyan.

    ps.breakfast ko yan kanina, sis! (yung egg naman kahapon.):D

    happy weekend!

    It’s been a long time since I’ve had champorado. I used to eat it a lot when I was a young girl.
