Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 2 lbs. grated cassava
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream (or coconut milk)
  • Banana leaves for wrapping (cut into 12 x 6 inch pieces)

Instruction

  • Combine the cassava and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl. Gently fold until the ingredients are well distributed.
  • Add the coconut cream. Stir until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Scoop about 1/2 cup of mixture and arrange on one side of the banana leaf. Mold the mixture so that it appears to be cylindrical in shape, with the length of about 4 to 5 inches.
  • Roll the banana leaf to wrap the mixture. Make sure that the leaf is not loose so that the mixture can use it as a mold. Secure the top and bottom part of the leaf by folding it inward in the same direction.
  • Boil about 5 to 6 cups of water in a steamer.
  • Arrange the wrapped cassava suman on the steamer and then steam for 30 to 35 minutes or until the texture becomes firm.
  • Remove from the steamer and let the temperature cool down.
  • Serve. Share and enjoy!
