Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup glutinous rice (malagkit)
- 2 cups water
- 4 cups coconut milk
- 1.5 cups sweet corn kernels (canned or fresh)
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Rinse the glutinous rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents clumping while cooking.
In a medium-sized pot, combine the rinsed glutinous rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice starts to soften and the water is mostly absorbed.
Pour in the coconut milk and stir well to incorporate it with the rice. Simmer the mixture on low heat for another 10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the rice becomes tender and creamy.
Add the sweet corn kernels into the pot and stir. Let it cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Stir in the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar and to avoid scorching the bottom of the pot.
Taste and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more sugar, depending on your preference.
Once the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency and the rice is fully cooked, remove the pot from heat.
Ladle the Ginataang Mais into serving bowls. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy this creamy and delicious dessert!
