How to make binignit (not really)

I tried making binignit, a bisaya dessert similar to ginataan because of the use of coconut milk and sweet chunky ingredients. Instead, I made Frankenstein.

I found coconut milk and camote at the “Asian” market, but that was it. Because I couldn’t find ube and the other 99.9 percent of the ingredients for binignit, I replaced them with bananas and rice. So basically I made coconut champorado with chunks of bananas and camote. And there you have it, my first white champorado. I think a better name for it is “whatever” binignit (basig unsa binignit in bisaya). It came out okay. Especially with the coconut milk and a pound of sugar. Listening to this song might help too.

  • From the picture above, I’m guessing u put the COOKED rice in the pan, poured the coconut milk, added the bananas&camote, and finally simmered the mixture till it turned gooey? Goodness, please tell me u didn’t do just that? Frankenstein, it is…hahaha

  • Damnit, no wonder my mom was laughing at me. And I could have sworn if lighting hit my concoction it would have come to life!
