Although we will use only a handful of ingredients, we will not use a large pot. Clean the medium size pot, wipe the remaining moisture with another piece of kitchen cloth. Otherwise, you can just place it over medium heat and leave for 1 minute. Step 2 When the pot is fully dry, start assembling the basic ingredients of your Filipino Champorado recipe. Pour in 3 cups of normal water and place it over medium low heat. Soon, the heat will be adequate enough to cause the water to start boiling. Once it happens, add the glutinous rice into the warm boiling water directly or with a wooden spoon. Step 3 Keep stirring the rice for every 30 seconds to 1 minute depending upon how hot the water is becoming. Unless you stir from time to time, the rice might stick with the surface of the pot easily. Take one cup of lukewarm water in a glass and pour in the cocoa powder in it. With a spoon, stir vigorously and keep stirring till there are no more cocoa lumps left in the glass. Step 4 Afterward, pour this cocoa powder mix into the large pot, right over the glutinous rice being cooked. Keep on cooking till the entire thing in the Filipino Champorado is starting to get thicker in consistency. As soon as it happens, turn the heat down to medium or preferably, medium low. With a seperate spoon, pour white sugar from above. Step 5 For the next couple of minutes you have to keep on studying the whole thing from time to time. We are already using glutinous rice and now you just added sugar. In order to prevent the rice from getting stuck at the bottom of your container, give it a nice stir. While moving the spoon, check if the rice is properly cooked. Step 6 Just in case the Champorado rice is not yet ready, add more amount of water into the pan. The best part about this rice is that it keeps on expanding even after it is fully cooked. Soon, after 5 to 6 minutes, you will notice the rice is done. Once you see that it has achieved the consistency you want, please turn the heat off completely.  Step 7 Let it cool for at least 5 minutes after bringing it down. Start to serve the Champorado in a medium bowl with a spoon. For best taste, add a bit of evaporated milk on the top and enjoy. Avoid adding condensed milk since it suppresses the basic taste and consistency.
