Philippines · coconut rice cake in banana leaf — An ownerless traditional dish, so no cook is credited. The cited article confirms suman, or budbud, as an elongated rice cake originating in the Philippines, made from glutinous rice cooked in coconut milk and often wrapped in banana leaves. The half-cook stage, the leaf-softening step and the submerge-the-whole-hour rule are this book's own.

Pass the banana leaves briefly over a flame or through boiling water until they turn glossy and floppy.
💡 Untreated leaf cracks along the ribs the moment you fold it. Ten seconds of heat is the difference between wrapping and swearing.
Cook the drained rice with the coconut milk, sugar and salt over low heat, stirring, 12 minutes — until the liquid is absorbed but the grains are still firm in the middle.
💡 Half-cooked, deliberately. It finishes in the boil, and rice cooked through at this stage turns to paste inside the leaf.
Cool the rice until you can handle it. Put 3 heaped tablespoons along one edge of a leaf, roll it into a tight log and fold both ends under.
Tie two logs together, back to back, with string.
Boil the parcels in plenty of water, fully submerged, for 60 minutes. Top the water up as it goes down.
💡 Fully submerged the whole hour. A parcel that breaks the surface cooks unevenly and comes out chalky down one side.
Lift out, drain and cool at least 30 minutes before unwrapping — it sets as it cools.
Serve with sugar to dip, or with ripe mango.
