Byamazingfoodstv


This biko recipe is not too sweet with a perfectly sticky and chewy texture.

Biko (pronounced bee-koh), a rice cake, is a native Filipino delicacy where glutinous rice is cooked with coconut milk and brown sugar then topped with caramelized coconut milk.
Traditionally, biko is served on a bilao, a round wooden bamboo tray, lined with coconut-oiled banana leaves, and is a popular dessert for every special occasion like birthdays, reunions, and fiestas.

  12. My college friend use to bring this back to us when she went home on breaks! Her mom was an amazing cook and when we went down to her house on visits she’d make a pan full of this, we absolutely loved it and I miss those days!

  20. My mums Filipina and I've been thinking about some biko for awhile and we passed a town big enough to have an Asian mart and I nabbed some glutinous rice cuz I want some biko.

    My mum makes it rather plain the rice and a plain caramel n sometimes vanilla, I originally thought it had coconut milk in it too but she told me that was too rich but maybe I'm misunderstanding 🤔

    Anyways I was just searching for a less sweet recipe, n my mum cooks from her heart and would always just tell me make equal parts caramel and equal parts rice and it's too much caramel and the biko didnt come out as a cake, more like a sticky pudding and too sweet 🙁

    So I wanted to look up a real recipe that was also a tad less sweet, when she makes it she makes it perfect, sometimes on the wetter side tho.

    Last time I had it in the Philippines they sprinkled fried coconut on it and I didn't like that. I think they burnt those crumbles xD and I think they used regular rice and not the glutinous rice …. I shouldn't judge they were poor, flavor was really good though aside from the sprinkles.

    I just asked my mum about biko again and same thing about measuring with her heart xD but she did correct me about the coconut milk… She did tell me that pretty much no one bakes it though cuz no one has ovens, only the rich folk do, as I recall my mum has never baked it.

  37. Followed all instructions even on the web page and unfortunately still burnt rice. I can’t win!
    The metric measurements don’t match with the US customerary. 1 cup (250g) of rice doesn’t measure 370g rice! Has someone else had this problem? The US customary reads 2 cups rice with 2 cups fluid altogether. But the metric one says 370g rice with 1300ml fluid altogether…. Which one should I got with?? Is this why my rice keeps burning? 🙁
