Chocolate Rice Porridge
This is for all the chocolate lovers out there! If you crave for chocolate in the morning, this treat is perfect for you. This is a breakfast and snack staple in the Philippines. It is frequently served with a drizzle of milk and slivers of dried, salted or smoked fish on the side. I heard some have tried it with peanut butter. In my opinion, it tastes much better than oatmeal and other breakfast cereals that comes in a box.
1 cup glutinous rice (short grain)
6 cups water
200 gms. unsweetened chocolate (tablet or powder form)
1/2 cup sugar
milk
If you cannot find unsweetened chocolate preparations, reduce the amount of sugar to suit your taste.
- In a bowl, wash rice in running water until the water clears.
- Put the water in a pot. Transfer the rice to the pot, cover and bring water to a boil.
- Reduce heat and uncover the pot.
- Cook the rice for 10-12 minutes stirring occasionally to prevent burning the rice.
- Add chocolate and sugar. Mix until a thick and even consistency is acheived.
- Remove from heat and serve with milk.
Have fun with the presentation by drawing designs while drizzling with milk. Hope this sweet bowl brings a happy start to your day!
