Steps

1

Combine the sticky rice and water in a rice cooker and cook until the rice is ready. We intentionally combined lesser water than the usual so that the rice will not be fully cooked.
2

While the rice is cooking, combine the coconut milk with brown sugar and salt in a separate pot and cook in a low heat until the texture becomes thick. Stir instantly.
3

Once the rice is cooked and the coconut milk-sugar mixture is thick enough, add the cooked rice in the coconut milk and sugar mixture then mix well. Continue cooking until all the liquid evaporates (but do not overcook).
4

Scoop the cooked biko and place it in a serving plate then flatten the surface.
5

Garnish with "latik", a cooked coconut milk residue, on top.
