Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 400 g glutinous rice flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 400 ml Coconut milk
  • 1 cup macapuno
  • 1 pack frozen banana leaves washed in hot water, dried and cut into 6 inch lengths
  • 1-2 teaspoons black sesame or chia seeds

Instructions

  • Place oven racks at the top and bottom of the oven. Set the top rack to the second position away from the broiler and the bottom rack to the lowest setting. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Two 1218 inch cookie sheets are required.
  • Combine the flour, brown sugar, coconut milk, macapuno, and chia seeds in a large mixing bowl (if using). Stir everything together thoroughly. 3 tablespoons should be placed on the lower third of the prepared leaves. Spread batter evenly, leaving about 1 12 inch between each end to prevent spilling. Wrap the filling completely in the roll.
  • Place the wrapped tupig on 2 cookie sheets. Cook for ten minutes then switch the pans (top and bottom) and bake for another 7 minutes or until the leaves are browning in a lot of spots. You can switch to broil and broil (each pan) for a minute if you want a browner tupig. But make sure you watch carefully as it burns quickly.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and place in the fridge. Microwave for a few seconds to warm it.
