This simple recipe version tastes like the original that we used to cook when we visited our folks in Ilocos Sur, Philippines. Please take note; we bought the ingredients in Asia market here in Australia unplanned what to cook. I finally come up with Patupat or Ilocanong Tupig thinking where to use the banana leaves. Obviously, the preparation is not as exactly done in the Philippines with our limited resources here. It turns out to taste great!
PATUPAT RECIPE, SUMAN or TUPIG RECIPE in Ilocano version
Ingredients:
1 kg. Glutinous Rice
1/2 cup of long grain or glutinous red rice (optional)
1 or 2 pack of banana leaves (It depends how many leaves in a pack)
2 cans of Coconut Milk
1 tbsp of Sea salt (it depends on your taste)
1 cup raw sugar cane
2 or 3 tbsp of toasted sesame (optional) toothpick (optional to pin the banana wrap if they're too small size)
Steamer
Preparation:
1. Half cook the glutinous rice with the coconut milk.
2. Mix all the rest of the ingredients after the half-cooked rice under a small fire. Remove from the fire ready to wrap with the heated banana leaves.
3. Heat your banana leaves under the fire, just enough to create that aroma and greener looks. I use the cooking gas stove. (Fire is not allowed outside the house in Victoria during the fire season.)
4. Divide your banana leaf according to the size you want.
5. Wrap your rice in the banana leaves to whatever size or style you want. Use toothpick to pin the banana wrap if it's too short.
6. Steam for an hour or until it’s cooked. Done!
