The GINATAANG BILO-BILO (Glutinous Rice Balls in Coconut Milk) Serves 4-6

Ingredients:

2 cups glutinous rice flour

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water

3 cups diluted coconut milk

1/2 cup sugar or desired amount to taste

1 cup jackfruit preserve (langka), shredded

Method:

Combine glutinous rice flour with 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water until it forms into a soft dough. Add more water if needed. Make dough into small balls, about 1/2-inch diameter, by rolling pieces between the palms of your hands. Set aside.

In a deep pan, bring to a boil the coconut milk and sugar.

Reduce heat to medium. Add glutinous rice flour balls and jackfruit. Gently simmer for 15-20 minutes or until rice balls are cooked. They will float on top when cooked. 

Stir frequently. Serve warm in individual bowls.
