Biko

This recipe is the most challenging one I’ve faced to date. I apologize if my post would seem like an amateur to some visitors. My biko didn’t turn dark brown as I expected for I used a slightly light brown sugar. When I saw Lia’s biko, I felt shame for my biko. My habibi immediately defended that what I made is suman and not biko. Hahaha!

Ingredients:

3 cups glutinous rice
2 cups coconut milk
1 cup water
1 cup brown sugar

Toppings:
1 cup coconut milk

Procedure:

1. Soak rice in water for 30 minutes then drain.
2. Place rice, water, coconut milk  in pot. Cook stirring constantly to keep from burning.
3. Once the rice has absorbed the liquid, turn off fire.
4. Transfer half cooked rice in pan over medium fire. Add brown sugar, mix.

To make Toppings:
1. Place coconut milk on pan over low fire.
2. When cream starts to brown, scrape bottom and fold to form coco crumbs.
