Why make this dish ?

The very first time I made my bibingkang malagkit was during our Christmas family reunion. And it’s not just the snack size – I made a large batch of it. Good thing I made enough. While stirring the rice on a large wok was really tiring and contributed on how strong my arms are now. It’s still a dish that evoke fond memories with my family.

I rarely make this dish but when I do it, I do large batches and people ask for more. It’s not just the fun of sharing the bibingkang malagkit you cooked to your loved ones but also seeing them enjoy the food. I really like adding extra sugar to my bibingkang malagkit, also topping it with coconut flakes for an added crispy texture. It’s a great party dish where you can also add an array of toppings on the side to give everyone a choice to make it their own. I was surprised on the different topping some of my family members are putting on their bibingkang malagkit. Some of them put cheese, some added more sugar, and the most surprising topping, chocolate spread! My family was creative!

How to Make Bibingkang Malagkit ?

In making the bibingkang malagkit, you prepare the sticky rice first. The sticky rice also called “glutinous rice” or “bigas na malagkit” when you go to the market. Is the only type you should use in making this snack. The level of stickiness this rice has helps give the dish it’s firm shape. Wash the sticky rice and drain. Set it aside for a while.

The top part of the bibingkang malagkit is a rich sweet sauce made from coconut milk and brown sugar. This is called the “latik” or coconut caramel. To make this, mix together 2 cups of coconut milk and brown sugar in a pan. Stir gently and allow the sugar to dissolve. This results into a deeply rich brown color. Be wary on cooking your coconut caramel. It must be brown and not dark brown. A very dark brown coconut caramel may mean that the caramel was overcooked and might taste bitter and burnt. When the coconut caramel is thick enough, remove it from the heat.

In another pan, put the rest of the coconut milk and add your pandan stalk. Tie your pandan stalk so that it will be easily removed for later. When the liquid starts boiling add the sticky rice. Stir it occasionally to prevent it the bottom from burning. Allow the liquid to sip into the sticky rice and cook until the liquid is reduced to half. Then, remove the pandan stalk and add the white sugar. Continue cooking and check on the sticky rice. If there are no liquid left and the rice is sticking in the spatula, remove the rice from heat.

Transfer the rice in a baking pan lined with banana leaf. While traditional, the banana leaves still adds to the aesthetic and aroma of most kakanins. Flatten the rice evenly in the baking pan and spread the coconut caramel on the top. Bake the mixture for 45 minutes at 160°C or 320°F. Another way of knowing that the bibingkang malagkit is cooked is when the top is firm and dry. Take the baking pan out and cut the bibingka into serving pieces. Serve it warm and enjoy. This kakanin is really sweet enough to satisfy your sugar cravings. Be sure to try out this classic dish!
