Steamed millet cakes with chocolate sauce (budbud kabog)

• 500 g (2½ cups) hulled millet (see Note)
• 1.8 L coconut milk
• 330 g (1½ cups) caster sugar
• 6 banana leaves (see Note)

Chocolate sauce

• 100 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids), chopped
• 100 ml milk
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
•  

Cooking Instructions:        

1.  Rinse millet in water, then drain. Place coconut milk in a large, deep saucepan and bring to the boil over medium–high heat. Gradually add millet, stirring constantly for 2 minutes or until millet starts to swell in size. Reduce heat to low, cover with a lid and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until liquid has almost been absorbed. Stir in sugar, then cook, covered, for a further 3 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and millet is tender. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
2.  Meanwhile, to prepare the banana leaves, working with one leaf at a time, pass each side over a high flame until starting to wilt, then wipe with paper towel. Remove centre veins from leaves, then cut leaves into 15cm squares. Reserve any leaf scraps and tear into thin strips to use as string to secure parcels.
3. Place heaped tablespoons of the millet mixture along one end of the banana leaf square. Roll over to enclose, then fold in the sides and roll up completely to form a cigar shape. Use a strip of leaf to secure the parcel. Repeat with remaining millet mixture and banana leaf squares to make about 50 parcels.
4. Fill a wok or large saucepan half-full with water, place a bamboo steamer on top and bring to the boil over high heat. Working in batches if necessary, stack budbud kabog in steamer and cook for 70 minutes, topping up with water if necessary, or until millet is very soft. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
5.  Meanwhile, to make chocolate sauce, place chocolate, milk and sugar in a heatproof bowl, and set over a saucepan of gently simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Cook for 1 minute or until chocolate starts to melt. Remove bowl from heat and whisk until smooth.
6. Open budbud kabog, drizzle over chocolate sauce and serve warm in banana leaves.

Notes

• Hulled millet is available from greengrocers, select delis and health food shops.

Suman Malagkit

Suman Malagkit

• 2 cups glutinous rice, soaked in water for 2 to 3 hrs
• 1 tsp. salt
• 2 cups fresh or canned coconut milk
• banana leaves for wrapping
• water for boiling

Cooking Instructions

1. Remove the water from the rice by straining, then place it in a pot with the coconut milk and salt.  Bring to a boil, stir and immediately lower the heat to the lowest setting and stir occasionally to minimize rice from sticking on the pot.  Let is simmer for 20 minutes then turn the heat off. Don’t open the pot, leave it for another 15 to 30 minutes to finish cooking and to cool down
2. For the wrapping, pass the banana leaves over an open flame very quickly. This process will release the aroma of the leaves and will make them soft and flexible. Cut the leaves by making equal number of small pieces or depending on what size of roll you want  your suman
3. Wrap the rice as tight as possible and fold the sides.  Tie two pcs. of suman with folded sides inward  (as shown on the picture) or you may wrap 6 pieces or more again with a larger piece if you still have extra leaves to serve as double protection
4. In a steamer, stack the suman and steam for around 30 minutes to one hour over boiling water. Make sure they are tender before removing them from the steamer
5. Allow it to cool before unwrapping so that it will firm up
6. Serve with sugar, sweetened grated coconut, latik  or ripe mango. Share & enjoy!

Suman sa Lihiya

Suman sa Lihiya

• 2 1/4 cups glutinous rice
• 1 teaspoon lye water
• 2 cups water
• 1 whole banana leaf, cleaned

Cooking Instructions:

1. Place the glutinous rice in a mixing bowl then pour-in water. Stir and soak for 2 to 3 hours.
2. Drain excess water from the mixing bowl then add lye water and stir thoroughly. The mixture will turn yellowish. Let stand for 30 minutes. Note: do not go beyond the recommended measurement for lye water.
3. Prepare the banana leaves. Here are some tips:
   a.Fresh banana leaves can be heated directly in fire for a very short time. This releases the natural aroma of the leaf and makes it more flexible.
   b. If you are using fresh frozen banana leaves, it is better to just wash it in warm water.
   c. You’ll need a pair of leaves per serving. The bigger leaf should measure about 12 by 10 inches while the smaller is 4 by 5 inches.
4. Arrange the banana leaves by placing the larger leaf first in a flat surface then put the smaller leaf in the center of the larger leaf.
5. Scoop about 1/4 cup of the rice mixture and place it over the smaller leaf.
6. Fold the leaf to secure the rice mixture (see video for procedure) and tie with a kitchen twine.
7. Arrange the folded banana leaves with rice mixture in a cooking pot then pour-in enough water.
8. Turn-on heat then let boil. Simmer for 80 minutes.
9. Turn-off heat and transfer the banana leaf covered rice cake on a serving dish.
10. Serve with white sugar, brown sugar, or latik.
11. Share and enjoy!
