Palitaw


INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 lb glutinous rice (malagkit)
  • 1 cup sesame seeds, toasted
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 4 cups freshly grated coconut
  • Water

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Soak glutinous rice in water overnight.
  2. The next day, drain the water. Grind the rice using a miller or a grinder. The end result is a dough of rice flour in a pasty consistency.
  3. Shortcut: you can buy ready-made glutinous rice dough from your nearest public market, follow instructions on the package on how to make it into dough.
  4. In a deep, large sauce pan, bring water to a boil, about 5 inches deep.
  5. Take about a spoonful of the rice dough and roll it into a ball between the palms of your hands.
  6. Flatten it in the middle using your thumb until it takes the shape of a tongue.
  7. Drop the flattened dough into the pot of briskly boiling water. Wait for a few seconds until it starts to float.
  8. Remove it from water.
  9. Place the cooked palitaw on a bed of grated coconut.
  10. Turn it over to cover both sides. Set aside.
  11. Repeat the steps with the remaining dough.
  12. In a separate small bowl, mix sugar and toasted sesame seeds (toasted for about 2 to 3 minutes on a hot skillet over medium heat).
  13. Sprinkle this mixture over the cooked palitaw as you serve them.
