Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a pot over medium heat, combine coconut milk and water. Bring to a simmer.
  2. Add glutinous rice and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 to 15 minutes. 
  3. Add gabi, purple yams and kamote. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15 to 20 minutes or until tender.
  4. Add bananas, sago, jackfruit, coconut cream, and sugar. Stir to combine.

Notes

  • Cut ingredients in uniform sizes for even cooking.
  • Ready-to-eat sago in the US comes bottled in heavy syrup. Make sure to drain them well lest the stew becomes overly sweet.
  • Cook the coconut sauce in a gentle simmer and do not bring to a boil to keep from curdling or separating.
