I wanted to eat plenty of daifuku with fresh strawberries picked that very morning.Weigh the bean paste and divide into twelve 30 g portions to create uniform-looking daifuku in the end.You can use either coarse or smooth bean paste.The thinner the dough is, the better the taste, because it'll be easier to taste the fresh strawberry and yummy bean paste. For making 12. Recipe by Marimary

This is a Filipino sweet ricecake usually eaten as snack. Very easy to make

I keep getting request to cook Biko during family occasions. Living in other country is hard. That even if it's not your favorite food, you still miss it. (Excuse the quality of the photos, it's as raw as it can get with no enhancement or effects).

This is a sweet rice cake traditional served during cuaresma (Holy Week) or todos los santos (All Saints Day) in the Philippines; but nowadays, this can be enjoyed during any occasions.This recipe can also be done without the Pirurutong. If using pure glutinous rice, skip soaking the rice. You will end up with an off-white rice cake.

One of a kind dessert which make me miss my childhood town.

Pohulpohul Cake or Itak Pohulpohul is a traditional Batak snack, which comes from Tapanuli. Shaped like a fist knuckles, similar to Itak Gurgur because the shape is made with quite simple tools --- namely the fingers of your fist, which is why it is called "pohulpohul" (which means 'fist').There is little difference between Pohulpohul and Gurgur, among others : Pohulpohul only uses flour, unlike Gurgur which is mixed with grated coconut. Pohulpohul is steamed before serving, but Gurgur can be directly eaten after it is created. Pohulpohul cake contains nutrients, such as Carbohydrates, Protein, Vitamin B (B1, B2, B3, B6), Iron, Calcium, Fat, Omega 3 and Fiber.Pohulpohul is often brought as a souvenir for the family who comes to visit for a customary speech, for example to discuss marriage plans for men and women both parties. Of course, pohulpohul is only the 'companion' of the main souvenirs which is usually in the form of food 'weight' of the carp.Pohulpohul's shape follows the silhouette of a fist, and the fingers are used in forming the pohulpohul. Rice flour is the main ingredient so it becomes solid and the flours complement each other; it is a symbol of how the customary talks between the two sides (paranak and parboru) that takes place. In the process is characterized by dialogue and negotiation, there occasionally are words thrown that pierce or offend. However as in pohulpohul, where the flour are complementary and mutually self compacting --- presumably expected so the words that have sprung up in the customary speech, complementary and mutually condense with no other aim than to enhance the indigenous celebration being prepared.

Palitaw is a term used to call a sweet flat rice cake that is eaten in the Philippines as a snack or dessert. Originally, grounded or pounded sticky rice is used to make this rice cake (called kakanin in the local language) you can use simply coconut ,sugar and toasted sesame seed for flavoring.

First trial :) texture of the cake is a bit chewy because of the glutinous rice flour :) I used 21 cm diameter pan.The oil/butter used in this recipe is quite a lot. Because the glutinous rice flour somehow absorb a lot of moisture otherwise the cake will get harden the next day. I tried to cut down the oil/butter by half and it doesn’t turn out well 😂

The word Palitaw means to float/floating. When the palitaw floats, it means that it is already cooked. It is a traditional snack that will surely satisfy your cravings.

Perfect for family gatherings. :hungry

I have learned how to make sakura mochi, but I didn't have rice flour, domyoji flour, or a cherry blossom leaf...I wanted to make a sakura mochi easily, so I came up with this recipe.-A little amount of the red food colouring is enough to turn the rice pink, so don't add too much. If you add too much, the rice turns red.-A pinch of salt gives the rice a salty kick, and it will taste like the authentic sakura mochi. If you don't have the salted cherry blossom leaf, add little more salt in the rice to adjust the taste. I taste the mixture at the Step 3, and adjust the taste to my liking. Recipe by Marrietty

Hello! I previously shared a special recipe of (baked) Air Fried Rice Cake/Tikoy and it was top billing during this recent Chinese NY (Lunar NY) 🫶 so I thought I’d also share the ordinary way of enjoying Tikoy in Filipino homes. 😊
