Hi there! Thank you for the recipe. How long does this stay good for after it’s cooked and does it need to be refrigerated?

Thank you for sharing this recipe, including the video, which was extremely helpful!
The 1.5c water to 2c rice ratio created the perfect done-ness for the rice, taking into account that it’d be cooked in the coconut syrup!

FYI for others interested in trying this:
~ I tend to prefer desserts that are light-medium sweet so I cut the sugar in half and it was still a tad too sweet for me (though I know that it’s not traditionally made this way).
~ Reducing the coconut milk and sugar will take a very long time if you use low heat. Even with a 12-inch saucepan and bumping up the heat to medium, it took 30+ minutes.
~ This recipe created a large amount of biko! If I were planning on making it just for myself and not to share (I gave about 3/4 of this batch away to 2 different families), I would halve the recipe.

Enjoy!

Hello!

Since I don’t have the dark brown sugar (Moscobado?) like what we have in PI, I used the light brown sugar which I think was too sweet to my taste. Just an FYI for those who are controlling their sugar intake, I think 1cup of sugar can be doable. Otherwise the recipe is perfect and easy to follow. Thank you!

How do you get for the glutinous rice to be more soft or cooked more, cause for me I cook it for hours & I still feel the rawness in it..I even mixed mines with jasmine rice.

Ang sarap po ng kinalabasan ng aking biko. Tiyak akong masasarapan ang aking asawa nito. Salamat po sa inyong recipe. I did take half of the latik pra sakto sakto lang ang kakalabasan when I added the malagkit rice. Ang sarap talaga! oh my gosh! Oh wait, and i used coconut cream at coconut milk equal parts para mas masarap ang latik.
