Hello all @foodies community
How are you doing today,I hope your feeling alright.
Today is just an ordinary day,and as a busy mother,I just simply prepare a simple chocolate porridge to my kids as their snacks for today.Good thing I have many rice leftovers from last night.
You don't need to throw away leftover rice(day old) transformed it into delicious chocolate porridge surely kids will enjoy the taste of real chocolatey flavored porridge for their snacks.
Here's the steps on how I simply do the chocolate porridge
You will need the following
1 cups of leftover rice (a day old)
4pieces cocoa(fresh tablea,locally made)
1/2 cup sugar
3 cups of water
I'm glad also that my mother in law gave me this (tablea)cocoa.So I used 4 pieces of it,to flavored the porridge.This will give the porridge a deeper and authentic flavor.
First thing I did is to prepare the the leftover rice.Place it in a pot with water.
Bring it to a boil,simmer it until rice breaks down.
Stir occasionally until rice becomes so soft and breaks down,check if it becomes thickens.Simmer for atleast 20-30 minutes.
Adjust consistency with more liquid if needed and for the flavor I used cocoa (chocolate) to enhance the porridge to become tasty and flavorful.
IN MAKING THE CHOCOLATEY FLAVORhere's what to do:
In a small bowl,melt the 4pieces cocoa in a small amount of hot water,stir it until it dissolved.
Stir in cocoa(chocolate flavor)and sugar and it in a thickened porridge.
And when it's cooked,Place the porridge in a bowl,and serve it hot and with a drizzle of milk.
Kids are enjoying their snacks of the day,feeling full and happy 😊
Hope you like this healthy version of my leftover rice turned into chocolate porridge.See you in my next blog journey.Bye🥰👋🏽
