Coconut Milk Glazed Biko with Toasted Coconut Flakes
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups glutinous rice
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1 1/2 cups coconut milk
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
- 1/2 cup toasted coconut flakes
Instructions
- Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.
- In a large pot, combine the rinsed 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 coconut milk, brown sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a glaze-like consistency, about 10-15 minutes.
- Pour the coconut milk glaze over the cooked glutinous rice and stir to combine. Continue to cook over low heat for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is sticky and glossy.
- Transfer the biko to a serving dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Drizzle the coconut cream over the top and spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle the toasted coconut flakes over the biko, then allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Enjoy your Coconut Milk Glazed Biko with Toasted Coconut Flakes!
