THE PHILIPPINES

Chocolate Rice Pudding

SUBMITTED BY

Christian

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup glutinous rice
  • 4-6 cups water
  • tablea, cocoa powder, or dark chocolate bar
  • palm sugar (dissolved in water) or brown sugar
  • pinch salt
  • splash vanilla extract
  • condensed milk or evaporated milk or powdered milk
  • Tuyo a specific variety of salt-cured, sun-dried fish made from herring
  • spiced vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Boil the uncooked rice with 4 cups of water until tender, adding more water as needed. This dish is a sweet take on porridge, so you need to add plenty of water. Cook for 10-15 minutes.
  • Add your choice of chocolate to taste to the porridge and let it boil for 5-10 more minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Cook over medium to low heat. The chocolate must be heated thoroughly to achieve the best flavor.
  • Add sugar to taste, a pinch of salt, and vanilla extract. You may want it less sweet since we will top the champorado with condensed milk, which is already sweet.
  • For the tuyo, simply fry it over medium flame until the scales start to separate from the meat.
  • Serve the champorado in a bowl and top with condensed milk (or evaporated milk or powdered milk according to your preference).
  • On a separate plate, you can flake your tuyo, dip it in spiced vinegar, and cleanse your palate with champorado.
