Instructions
How to make Enkiwar:
In a bowl, soak malagkit in water for 30 minutes or until soft. Drain the water from the bowl.
In a pot, boil the coconut milk with salt until about a cup has been evaporated.
Put the malagkit in a pot of coconut milk turning often to avoid scorching until the rice has dried a bit and has softened.
Cook the softened rice in moderate heat and add the sugar, turning often until cooked.
Remove from fire and place in a bilao (bamboo tray) lined with banana leaves.
Serve either hot or cold.
