Bibingkang Malagkit Recipes

Steps:

• Soak rice in 3 1/2 cups water overnight.
• Combine rice with coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a rice cooker or heavy non-stick pot over medium low heat, stirring frequently until fully cooked. Add a little more water if needed. If you are using a rice cooker, keep cooker on warm setting until rice is cooked.
• Line a 9x13x2 inch pan with foil greased with butter.

• Brown top under broiler for 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Do not burn.
• Let cool at room temperature until firm and cut into pieces with a plastic knife.
• I decrease the sugars by 1/2 cup and cut the salt to 1/2 tsp as I do not like very sweet desserts. Sweet rice is available in Asian markets. The short grain sweet rice is normally used. Long-grained glutinous rice is used by Thai's for sweet sticky rice. Coconut milk can be purchased canned or frozen.
