Cooking Procedures:

Step 1

In a small bowl, put the glutinous rice flour and 1/2 cup of water. Mix well and knead the mixture with your clean hands until it turns into a pliable dough. If the dough is too sticky, add a little bit more flour; if too dry, add a little bit more water.

Step 2

Form the dough into balls using the palm of your hands. The shape should be like big-sized marbles. Arrange the balls in a tray or plate then cover with a cloth until ready to use.

Step 3

In a pot over medium heat, put the coconut milk and the remaining 2 cups of water. Stir. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the sweet potato then cook for about 3-5 minutes or until slightly tender.

Step 5

Add the banana, cooked sago, and jackfruit strips. Cook for 3 minutes.

Step 6

Add the glutinous rice balls then cook until they start to float on top.

Step 7

Add the sugar. Stir well.

Step 8

Add the coconut cream. Stir. Continue to cook until bananas and sweet potatoes are tender but not saggy and the ginataan thickens to your preferred consistency.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy your ginataang halo halo!
