“CHAMPORADO” is Filipino chocolate porridge. Typically eaten as breakfast or snack in the Philippines. It was my childhood favorite! It’s traditionally made with tablea, and glutinous rice. It’s thick, creamy and filling. Served with evaporated milk, powered milk, or both, and a side of “tuyo“ or salty dried fish. Sounds odd, but the salty fish cuts the sweetness and bitterness of the champorado.

- Chocolate tablea is chunk of ground up cacao beans. You can find it at any local Asian supermarkets. You can also substitute cocoa powder.
