San Pablo'y Personal Chefs

The San Pablo'y rice cakes in real time, day 2#4 : It is rice, and I cook it like rice. High heat, medium heat, low heat on a steamer. I would say for 45 minutes.

The San Pablo'y rice cakes in real time, day 2#3 : White rice cake = Galapong + white sugar + corn oil + baking powder. Kutsinta = Galapong + brown sugar + lye water.

The San Pablo'y rice cakes in real time, day 2#2: Food blenders or juicers grind submerged rice the best. Filter out residue with a fine mesh strainer. Galapong galore !

The San Pablo'y rice cakes in real time, day 2#1: Before, and after soaking overnight...

The San Pablo'y rice cakes in real time, day 1.5 : What would our rice cakes be without the succulent "kinayod" a.k.a grated coconut ? The kinayod prevents the rice cakes from sticking to each other. It also adds flavor and texture. For perfect kinayod, use darker brown coconuts. When grating, let the blade make five passes at each spot, and that's it. Any deeper will yield undesirable tough texture.

The San Pablo'y rice cakes in real time, day one. I am making two kinds of Filipino rice desserts, the plain white and the kutsinta. Not a lot to show today, just these two little containers of uncooked jasmine rice that need to be submerged in cold water for 24 hours after which they will be transformed into..."galapong" a.k.a. plain rice batter. So, I hope to see you again tomorrow :-) !!!
