Hi food buddies here in hive!
I will share one of the Filipino delicacies called "Palitaw", from it's Filipino root work "litaw" which have a similar meaning "to float", as it will float when it's done. This delicacy is made of glutinous rice flour, grated coconut, sesame seeds and sugar. This is soft-chewy and gluten-free snack.
Here's what we need:
•2 Cups Glutinous Rice Flour
•1 Cup Water
•1/4 Cup Sesame Seeds
•1/2 Cup Sugar
•1 Cup Freshly Grated Coconut
•Water for boiling
Let's get started.
Prepare grated coconut.
In a pan toast sesame seed until lightly brown.
Mix sesame seeds and sugar, set aside.
Put 2 glutinous rice flour in a bowl.
Add a cup of water, make sure to use the same cup you use for the glutinous rice flour.
Mix it well until you form a soft dough. It will look like this.
I used 1 Tablespoon to scoop it.
Mold it into a oval shape and 1/4 inch thick then put it in plate, do not let it stick to each other.
In a boiling water, put the rice party one by one and let it cook.
When it's cooked it will float, use a slotted spoon to remove it from the water. Let it drain the excess water in a strainer.
Roll the palitaw on the grated coconut until fully covered.
Put it in a serving plate.
Add some sugar-sesame mixture according to preference.
In case you prepare this ahead of time, don't put sugar-sesame mixture on the top because the sugar will melt if it's still warm or it will become hard when exposed to air.
I hope you can try this delicacy, it's an ideal snack for those who love foods made from glutinous rice.
