Ok, so what we didn’t mention is that Champorado is usually paired with tuyo (dried salted fish) for that breakfast of champions! We aren’t so keen on the salted fish, just the chocolate porridge for us please!

Made with sticky/glutinous rice, this porridge is great at breakfast or even as a dessert. It’s rich and sweet without being too sickly and best of all it’s completely vegan! You can subsitute the coconut milk with normal milk if you want, but the porridge doesn’t taste of coconut at all, just lovely chocolatey goodness!
