12. Philippine Breakfast or Snacks of what we call "CHAMPURRADO"

This CHAMPURRADO recipe Filipino version is a sweet chocolate rice porridge (Lugaw), a popular Filipino breakfast or snack, and often served hot with Tuyo (Salted Dried Fish). It is made from glutinous rice (locally known as malagkit) or ordinary rice if not available, Cocoa Powder or any available chocolate powder that you have and Sugar. A more traditional approach would be using tableya (pure cocoa blocks) instead of cocoa powder. Milk is added to make it creamy if you have.
