Coconut Milk Glazed Biko
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups glutinous rice
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then place it in a large bowl and cover with water. Let it soak for at least 1 hour, then drain.
- In a large pot, combine the soaked glutinous rice and 2 1/2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
- In a separate saucepan, combine the brown sugar, coconut milk, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a syrup-like consistency, about 15-20 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Transfer the cooked glutinous rice to a greased baking dish and flatten the surface with a spatula.
- Pour the coconut milk glaze over the rice, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the coconut milk glaze is set and the edges of the rice cake are golden brown.
- Allow the biko to cool before slicing into squares and serving. Enjoy!
Biko, a traditional Filipino dessert, is a sweet sticky rice cake infused with coconut milk and brown sugar. The dish has a rich history dating back to pre-colonial Philippines, where it was often served during special occasions and celebrations. The coconut milk glaze adds a creamy and aromatic touch to the already decadent dessert. Renowned Filipino chefs like Margarita Fores and Claude Tayag have put their own modern twists on this classic dish, elevating it to new heights. The best version of this dish can be found in local Filipino restaurants or at traditional fiestas in the Philippines. To make the perfect biko with coconut milk glaze, it's crucial to use high-quality coconut milk and to achieve the right level of stickiness in the rice. Some alternative methods for making biko include using different types of rice or adding toppings like latik (toasted coconut curds) for added texture and flavor.
