Suman (Rice Cake)

Suman is a type of rice cake. Bibingka, kakanin, puto bumbong and puto are all forms of rice cake too. Suman is made out of sticky rice cooked in coconut milk, a pinch of salt, wrapped in banana leaves then steamed. This delicacy is often served during special occasions in the Philippines. It is best eaten with ripe mangoes, grated coconut or just plain sugar.

I cooked mine in the rice cooker, I let it cool before wrapping them in banana leaves. As I steam the suman, the smell reminded me of the province and fiestas back home :D
