This black kutsinta is flavored with blackstrap molasses, which gives it a dark, nearly black color, and a thick, sticky texture. The addition of molasses to the traditional recipe gives the rice cake a slight hint of bitterness, which is unnoticed when the sweet toppings of coconut flakes, dulce de leche or coconut jam are added. ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/black-kutsinta-instant-pot-stovetop/feed/ 1 15661 https://thequirinokitchen.com/instant-pot-suman-sa-lihiya-sticky-rice-logs-with-coconut/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/instant-pot-suman-sa-lihiya-sticky-rice-logs-with-coconut/#comments Sat, 25 May 2019 23:02:50 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=8744 These Instant Pot Suman sa Lihiya are another type of Filipino sticky rice logs cooked with sticky rice (malagkit), white jasmine rice, sugar and lye water. These cook faster and in half the time in the Instant Pot multi-cooker/ pressure cooker. A rich, thick coconut syrup is boiled separately and served as a topping option. Other topping suggestions for this type of suman are latik (fried coconut sprinkles) mixed with sugar or freshly-grated coconut. Pair suman with fresh, ripe, sweet mangoes in season and it’s the perfect snack or dessert. ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/instant-pot-suman-sa-lihiya-sticky-rice-logs-with-coconut/feed/ 2 8744 https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-bibingkang-kanin-malagkit-biko-rice-cake-with-coconut-topping/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-bibingkang-kanin-malagkit-biko-rice-cake-with-coconut-topping/#comments Wed, 05 Dec 2018 16:19:42 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=7418 Bibingkang Kanin Malagkit - Biko Rice Cake with Coconut Topping is an ideal Filipino dessert or snack for family gatherings.

These are traditionally enjoyed along with slices of buttery bibingka (rice cakes). These violet sticky rice logs are a spectacular entrée for breakfast, brunch or snacks.

Originally they are supposed to be wrapped in coconut leaves. But I used frozen banana leaves, which was available in Asian markets here in America. Only 3 ingedients are needed. The only long process involves soaking the sticky or sweet rice (“malagkit”) in water overnight. The next day, once the coconut milk and salt are added, wrap the rice mixture in the leaves and boil them.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/suman-sa-ibus-filipino-sticky-rice-logs/feed/ 22 4394
