Ingredients
- ½ cup tapioca pearl small
- 2 cups water for cooking tapioca pearl
- 1 cup glutinous rice flour for making bilo-bilo
- ½ cup water for making bilo-bilo
- 800 ml coconut milk
- 2 cups water or more as needed
- 1 medium taro cut into cubes
- 1 medium yellow sweet potato cut into cubes
- 1 medium purple sweet potato cut into cubes, alternatively you can use white sweet potato
- ½ cup glutinous rice
- 3 pcs plantain banana saba, cut into cubes
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tsp ube flavor
- ½ cup ripe jackfruit cut into strips
Instructions
- In a pot over medium heat, combine the water and tapioca pearl. Bring to boil and cook until transparent. Rinse with cold water, drain and set aside.
- To make the glutinous rice bowl, mix the glutinous rice flour and water in a bowl until it forms a dough. Scoop about a teaspoon of the dough, roll and shape it into small balls. Set aside.
- Using a large pot over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, water, taro, sweet potatoes and glutinous rice. Bring to boil and cook until the rice is half-cook. Remember to stir occasionally to avoid it from sticking at the bottom.
- Put the banana and add more water if it becomes too sticky. Add the sugar and drop the glutinous rice balls one by one. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes until the rice balls are soft.
- Add 1 tsp ube flavor, cooked tapioca pearl and ripe jack fruit. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes while stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat, transfer into a serving bowl and serve it warm. Alternatively, you may let it cool completely and put inside the refrigerator to serve cold.
