BIKO (Glutinous Rice in Coconut Milk and Brown Sugar)

Ingredients:
3 cups glutinous rice (sweet rice)
1-1/2 cups water
1 cup darkbrown sugar
1/2 cup regular sugar or desired amount to taste
3 cups diluted coconut milk
3/4 teaspoon salt
1-2 cups lightly toasted sweetened coconut flakes topping

Method:
In a rice cooker, combine the glutinous rice, water, brown sugar, regular sugar, coconut milk and salt. Turn on cooker and stir mixture occasionally until liquid is absorbed and rice is soft.

Add more water if needed. 1f rice cooker turns off automatically and glutinous rice is not quite cooked yet, leave the warm button on until rice is fully cooked.

Continue to stir occasionally so that rice texture will be uniform. You may also cook this mixture in a deep non- stick pot over medium low heat, stirring frequently until fully cooked.

Transfer cooked mixture into a glass pan. Flatten and smooth top with the back of a spoon. Let cool until firm then slice in serving pieces. Top with toasted coconut flakes just before serving. Serves 10 or more
