Many times have we said this — no rice? no dice — and so we think we already have established how much Filipinos love rice. We love rice so much, we can have it steamed, as a side dish to our favorite savory delicacies, as well as we can have it as a heavy, sweet treat we just can’t say no to. We can have it anytime, any day, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner; even merienda. Rice is such a holy grail for Filipinos really. There is just some thing about this carb-filled yummy that ties every meal altogether.
With that, another food Filipinos go loco about is none other than ube. In fact, we, Filipinos, really go uber loco about this well-known delicacy that we can also eat it as it is as well as we could have it as a spread or use it as a base for other ube pastries and desserts.
And so as our love for each goodie grow, Filipinos have found a way to mash both together and make an absolutely heart-eyes-worthy dish that is hard to say no— you know what, scratch that; because it is a dish that you won’t think about saying no to. Ube Champorado has making rounds for years now and we have tasted a lot of delicious versions from a variety of restaurants already, so here we are, with a version of our own.
As this one is something that has been in the food scene for quite a time now, Champorado is made with glutinous rice alongside cocoa powder; hence, Ube Champorado is of a rice porridge that is usually sweet and milky, given that it is made yummier with purple yam and dashed with powdered milk, condensed milk, or evaporated milk. Truly, this sweet treat for merienda is a favorite by many.
Love it all up and have it for breakfast tomorrow or even for merienda today. Just simply follow our recipe video down below. Enjoy it with your mom, dad, sis, and bro!
