Cassava suman is a Filipino snack made by steaming a mixture of grated cassava, grated young coconut, sugar and butter, after wrapping softened banana leaf. Cassava Suman or sumang kamoteng kahoy (sumang balinghoy) is one of the very first recipes that I’ve learn when I was young. I used to help my mom making this dish and sell them in my neighbourhood. Seeing that I was able to make some income out of it, I asked my mom to teach me how to make it..
Since we have to many kamoteng kahoy before (since we were living in a farm and my dad farm lots of it) we were able to cook different recipes out of it. We cook cassava in different ways to serve as our meal (especially when we have don’t have rice or ulam) Cassava Suman is a very yummy and fulfilling snack to have. Today, I’m gonna share with you the easiest and simplest version of Cassava Suman.

RECIPE NOTES
- Depende kung gaano kaligat (chewy / kunat) ang gusto ninyo sa suman, pigaan lamang ito para maalis ang katas. Kung gusto ninyo ng makunat or maligat na suman, pigaan mabuti. Kung hindi naman, kaunting piga lamang para lang maalis yung labis ng katas ng grated cassava.
- Pwedeng magdagdag ng coconut milk sa recipe na ito. Kung walang butter, pwede ang margarine. Nakakadagdag ito ng linamnam sa suman.
- Kung walang steamer, pwede rin itong ilaga. Just make sure na nakataling mabuti ang kamoteng kahoy bago isalang at lagyan ng tubig para hindi bumuka habang naglalaga. boil for around 30 to 45 minutes depende kung gaano kalaki ang suman na nagawa ninyo.
- I-adjust ang sugar depende sa tamis na gusto ninyo. Kung walang buko, pwedeng skip na ito.
