Notes
Elevate your champorado with condensed milk, evaporated milk, powdered milk or a sprinkle of grated coconut.
Soak the rice for at least 1 hour to overnight before cooking for the creamiest texture.
Stir the rice regularly while cooking to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Adjust sweetness to your preference by adding more or less sugar.
