Now that the family is complete under ‘quarantined’ at home, homemakers are already preparing a weekly menu of simple but nutritious dishes to serve their loved ones. Breakfast and snacks are a challenge because the bagets (young ones) seem to get hungry fast. Here, we give you breakfast and snack suggestions to serve for all members of the family.

CHAMPORADO

Ingredients

• 5 pieces tablea pure chocolate • 1 3/4 cups glutinous rice • 3/4 cup granulated white sugar • 6 to 8 cups water • powdered or condensed milk

Cooking Instructions

Pour water in a cooking pot and bring to a boil.

Put-in the tablea and stir until it is dissolved in boiling water.

Pour in the rice and let the water boil again. Set the heat to low-medium stirring constantly to avoid from sticking. The rice is cooked when it absorbs the water (about 15 to 25 minutes).

Add the sugar and stir until it dissolves.

Place the champorado in individual serving bowls and top with powdered or condensed milk.

Serve with tuyo, dried fish which is the most reliable and lifetime partner of champorado.

PALITAW

Ingredients

• 2 cups glutinous rice flour • ½ cup granulated sugar • 1 cup water • ½ cup sesame seeds roasted • 1 cup grated coconut

Cooking Instructions

Combine glutinous rice flour with water and mix until a dough is formed.

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough then mold into a ball-shaped dough.

Flatten the ball-shaped dough using the palm of your hands.

Boil water in a cooking pot then put-in the flattened dough.

When the flattened dough starts to float, remove from the pot and set aside, allowing water to drip.

Combine sugar and roasted sesame seeds then mix well.

Roll the rice cake in grated coconut then in the sugar-sesame seed mixture.

Arrange in a serving plate then serve.
