Ingredients

Instructions

  • Make latik using the 1 can coconut cream. Separate the oil and curds and set aside.
    1 can coconut cream
  • Place the glutinous rice flour in a large bowl and add water. Mix and knead with hand several times inside the bowl to make a dough. It should be firm but not be crumbly and should be easy to form but not too soft/wet or it will not float when cooked. Add more water or glutinous rice flour if needed to achieve the correct consistency.
    1 ½ cups glutinous rice flour, ¾ cup water
  • Fill a big pot or deep pan/wok with water and bring to a boil.
  • Divide the dough into 12-16 pieces balls and flatten it a bit by making an indent in the middle using your thumb.
  • Brush a plate of tray with some of the coconut oil and set aside.
  • Add a batch of the dough to the boiling water and cook for some minutes until they float to the surface. Take them out one by one using a slotted spoon and place them on the greased plate or tray on a single layer so they will not stick together. Do the same to the rest.
  • In a deep pan or wok, add coconut cream and sugar then turn heat on to medium-low and stir to dissolve. Once sugar is dissolved add langka and bring to a simmer.
    1 can coconut cream, ½ cup brown sugar, 1 cup jackfruit
  • Once it starts to simmer, add the cooked palitaw and cook for 5 minutes or until the sauce starts to thicken.
  • Add the cooked sago, if using, and the coconut curds or latik and simmer for another minute or two.
    1 cup cooked sago
  • Transfer to a serving dish. Enjoy!
