Guinata-An With Rice Balls
- 1 c. ground malagkit rice (sticky rice)
- 2 medium size sweet potatoes
- 2 medium size gabi*
- 5 saba bananas (cooking bananas)
- 1/2 tsp. anise seeds
- 1/2 lb. ube (purple yam)
- 5 c. coconut milk
- 1 c. nanghka (jackfruit) meat (ripe)
- 3 Tbsp. tapioca
- brown sugar to taste
- Pare the sweet potatoes, gabi and ube and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes. Peel the bananas and cut into slices, crosswise. Cut the nangka into strips. Boil the sweet potatoes, gabi and ube in 3 cups coconut milk. Form the malagkit rice into small balls and drop them in the boiling mixture. Then add the bananas, nangka, tapioca, anis and sugar. Simmer until cooked, stirring occasionally to keep from sticking and burning. About 5 minutes before serving, add the rest of the coconut milk. Heat through and serve.
