Suman Sa Lihiya

TweetPinShareYummly

A delicious rice cake snack made from glutinous rice, lihia or lye water, salt and wrap in banana leaves. Then boiled until the rice is done. The sauce is made from cooked coconut milk with brown sugar that resembles a saucy coconut jam also called latik. It is not hard to cook as you think. The only hard part is wrapping the malagkit rice in banana leaves and tying them in pairs before cooking.
