Enkiwar (Rice Cake with Coconut Milk) Recipe

A traditional Filipino Inkiwar Rice Cake topped with a generous sprinkle of sweet coconut crumbs, served on a white plate. The Inkiwar rice cake, with its distinct green hue, is made from glutinous rice and coconut milk, offering a soft and chewy texture, perfect for any festive celebration.

Ingredients

  • 1 and ½ cup malagkit (glutinous rice)
  • water for soaking the rice
  • 3 cups coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ kilo sugar
  • Bilao lined with banana leaves

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, soak malagkit in water for 30 minutes or until soft. Drain the water from the bowl.
  2. In a pot, boil the coconut milk with salt until about a cup has been evaporated.
  3. Put the malagkit in a pot of coconut milk turning often to avoid scorching until the rice has dried a bit and has softened.
  4. Cook the softened rice in moderate heat and add the sugar, turning often until cooked.
  5. Remove from fire and place in a bilao (bamboo tray) lined with banana leaves.
  6. Serve either hot or cold.
