Description

Biko is a traditional Filipino rice cake made from glutinous rice, coconut milk, and brown sugar. It is a popular dessert or snack and often served during special occasions such as birthdays, fiestas, and holidays. The texture of biko is sticky and chewy, and it has a sweet and nutty flavor.

Prep Time

The prep time for biko is about 30 minutes, which includes washing and soaking the glutinous rice and preparing the coconut milk mixture.

Cook Time

The cook time for biko is approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the desired consistency and texture.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups glutinous rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Baking dish or banana leaves

Method

  1. Wash the glutinous rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the coconut milk, brown sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Drain the soaked rice and add it to the pot with the coconut milk mixture. Stir well to combine.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the rice is fully cooked and the mixture is thick and sticky.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a baking dish or line it with banana leaves.
  6. Transfer the cooked biko to the prepared baking dish and smooth the surface with a spatula. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
  7. Let the biko cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Biko can be served warm or at room temperature. It can also be topped with toasted coconut flakes or sesame seeds for added texture and flavor. For a variation, some recipes call for adding jackfruit or ube (purple yam) to the mixture.
