ooooooh that sounds sooooooooooo good!!! I looked it up and you're right - it's called Champorado. Here's the info:

Champorado (Tagalog: tsampurado) is a sweet chocolate rice porridge in Filipino cuisine. It is traditionally made by boiling sticky/sweet rice and cocoa powder giving it a distinctly brown color. However, dry champorado mixes, which may be found in some Asian food stores, are prepared by adding just boiling water. It can be served hot or cold and with milk and sugar to taste. It is served usually at breakfast and sometimes together with dried fish locally known as tuyo.
The pudding becomes very thick and the lighter milk helps to "loosen" it. It's almost like eating "chocolate oatmeal." It can be eaten as a snack or dessert as well. Sweet rice can be found in most Asian aisles of a grocery store.

Ingredients

Preparations for champorado takes about 5 minutes.
The ingredients needed to make this dish are as follows:
  • 1 cup sweet rice
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • sweetened condensed milk (optional)
Recipe

Champorado takes about 35 minutes to cook.
The recipe is as follows:
  • Cook rice in a medium-size saucepan with water.
  • Stir constantly.
  • When rice is ready, rice should be somewhat transparent and it'll feel thicker as you stir.
  • Add the balance of ingredients except milk.
  • Serve in bowls with swirls of milk on top.

Yes! That's it! and that box is the exact kind that we have! It turned out to be quite good, although VERY rich, it's not exactly something that you could eat a huge bowl of, well you technicaly could but it would be followed by and extreme sugar rush and a bad stomach ache


look... a panda >

From the box, Champ-o-Rado looks like it's contents consist of red bean and condensed milk, a thoroughly sweet dessert. XD

Maybe Tamagoyaki, wrapped in nori on a bowl of rice, maybe with a side dish of miso....


dangit, now i've made myself hungry.

that's maybe what would be served on a weekend? unless you get up REEELY early on a school day, it would probably only be served on weekends.

And, most japanese high-school students make their lunches, right? they probably have to get up early anyways.


If my Japanese confuses you, if you don't undestand, you are always free to correct my grammar.

Here's what my friend Emi made for me while she was staying over at my place. (She's a chef in Japan so she stayed as long as she wanted. Haha!)

A bowl of rice, some tomato/cucumber/wakame salad, miso soup and tamagoyaki. Of course served with green tea.



If you don't have the time or patience, a bowl of ochyazuke always works too.

hi - 01-30-2009, 11:20 PM

yes, rice, nato, onsen tamago, steamed veggies and miso soup. This is healthy breakfast.
Nato looks somewhat weird to westerners so you can try steamed azuki instead. Just a few of everything.
I saw also bread slice with mermelade and a bit of butter and coffee. I assume this last one is just European continental breakfast. This is not as healthy.

Nato fermented beans - 01-31-2009, 12:05 AM

Well, maybe you like the look and the taste but I didnt feel like eating it. It is very healthy though. It is a kind of fermented sticky beans with a somewhat bitter taste. I dont know if bitter is the word for it. You eat that with rice. Try it!!! Definitively is healthy.
