These days, I rarely get my share of homemade guinataan, save for the nearby food store in the office. So one weekend, we decided to have one. This time, it's my mother-in-law (we call her Inay) who cooked for us as we helped prepare the ingredients.
Inay's Guinataan
Ingredients:
1 meat of coconut, grated
saba, diced
camote (sweet potatoes), diced
sago
galapong (milled rice)
Sugar to taste
Procedure:
Place galapong in a bowl. Set aside a small portion. Pour water into the bowl and mix. Repeat procedure until you get the dough that will hold shape on its own.
Dust a large plate (or bilao, if available) with galapong so the balls won't stick to the plate. Take a small portion of the dough and roll into a ball the size of a small marble. Repeat till you exhaust the dough. You can watch TV or chat or listen to the radio while doing this if you like.
Get a strainer and place the grated coconut milk here. Pour hot water onto the coconut milk; a bowl will catch the resulting coconut milk. When you have poured around 3 cups of hot water, squeeze the coconut milk to extract more of the milk. Set aside.
Place water in a pan. Try to estimate the quantity; when all the ingredients are placed in the pan, the water should be just enough to submerge all these. Bring to a boil, then put in medium heat.
Place the galapong balls into the water. When all the balls are floating, these are already cooked.
Add the diced saba and camote into the pan and cover. Check occasionally when these are cooked by piercing the camote with a fork.
Next, pour in the coconut milk, mix, and continue cooking until the soup thickens.
Add sugar to taste.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeletekalimutan muna ang diabetes, nyehehe
Katrabaho naman nyang guinatan na yan. Mukhang sarap na sarap si Tina ah.
ReplyDeleteCathy: Kapangalan mo ate ko, naalala ko tuloy lalo yung guinataan days namin :-)
ReplyDeleteann: Sa Baguio kasi, parang you still have lots of time to really take time out to prepare and cook, and the result is delicious!
I didn't realize you also have a food blog! sarap din nung balatong. problema ko lang yung galapong. is galapong the same as rice flour? gumawa kasi ako minsan nung palitaw parang hindi maganda kinalabasan kasi eh. Thank you for this recipe. ginutom ako sa mga pictures mo kasi ang ginaw dito ngayon at umuulan pa. tamang-tama sana ang ginatan! :D
ReplyDeleteKiwipinay: Naku, masarap talaga ang guinataan! At mainit pa! Tapos umuulan sa labas, e sa Baguio malamig kapag umulan talaga! Waaah miss ko na tuloy Baguio.
ReplyDeleteKiwipinay: yung galapong is rice flour nga... pero ang alam ko, malagkit yun dapat, not the regular rice. Uy pwede ka gumawa ulit ng palitaw with photos tapos i-post ko rin dito!
ReplyDeletealam ko na kung saan ako mali... yung rice flour. dapat pala glutinous rice flour. sige, try ko ulet this weekend. thank you sa tip. (patay na naman blood sugar ko. baka mabasa ni doc. nyahahaha!)
ReplyDeleteKiwipinay: naku... malamang na-Twitter na tayo ni Doc papunta sa post na ito. hahaha! Kung may ibang version ka ng guinataan, pahingi rin ng tip at nang mai-crosspost dito.
ReplyDeletesuper fave merienda.. dapat maraming saba, bilo-bilo, sago and langka! also camote :D
