Ingredients
- 2 cups grated cassava
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup coconut milk
- ½ cup desiccated coconut or fresh young coconut meat
FOR WRAPPING
- banana leaves - about 6 inches (width)
Instructions
- If using frozen grated cassava, thaw and drain excess liquids by using a sieve.
- If using young coconut meat, either grate/shred or chop the meat finely.
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
- Wash the banana leaves with water and pat dry. Heat each leaf by running it real quick on top of your stove with the heat/fire on. This will make the banana leaves more pliable.
- Scoop two spoonfuls of the mixture and place near the edge of a leaf then form into a log. Roll towards the other end to enclose the filling and then fold both sides towards the middle to fully seal the filling inside.
- Arrange the rolled Cassava Suman in the top layer of a steamer with the folds facing down to prevent them from opening while steaming.
- Steam for 30-35 minutes.
- Remove the cassava suman from the steamer and let it cool down. You may serve it just slightly warm or cold.
