Suman Malagkit Recipe
Description
The Suman Malagkit Recipe begins by preparing young banana leaves, cutting them into rectangles for wrapping. Glutinous rice is rinsed and mixed with coconut milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt, then simmered gently until the rice absorbs the liquid but is still slightly firm. This step ensures the rice starts softening while allowing it to hold shape when wrapped.
The partially cooked rice is spooned onto banana leaves, rolled into thin logs, and the ends folded securely. These packages are then steamed for 30 to 45 minutes until the rice becomes fully tender and sticky, infused with coconut milk and subtle banana leaf aroma. This method produces a compact, chewy rice cake with a mild sweetness.
Suman Malagkit is traditionally served by unwrapping from the banana leaves and accompanied by sugar or latik (coconut caramel sauce), enhancing the flavor. The banana leaf wrapping also helps retain moisture and adds a light herbal fragrance to the rice, making the dish unique and satisfying as a snack or dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 cups glutinous rice
- 2 cups coconut milk
- ½ cup sugar
- Pinch salt
- banana leaf young
Instructions
- Clean the banana leaves using a wet cloth. Cut them into 9x6-inch rectangles. Set aside.
- Rinse and drain glutinous rice flour.
- In a large pot over medium heat, mix coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Stir until sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Add the glutinous rice. Bring to a simmer then turn heat to low and cover. Let it cook until all liquids are absorbed. Add water if needed. The rice should only be almost cooked at this point. Let the rice cool down a bit for easier handling.
- Scoop about 2-3 tablespoons of rice into a banana leaf and roll into a thin log. Fold 2 inches of each end towards the middle to enclose the rice. Do the same to the rest until all the rice is used.
- Place the logs in a steamer basket, fold side down, and steam for about 30-45 minutes.
- Remove the suman from the steamer and allow to cool. Unwrap banana leaves and transfer to a serving plate. Serve with sugar or latik sauce.
