GINATAAN (SWEET POTATOES IN COCONUT MILK)



Ginataan (Sweet Potatoes in Coconut Milk) image

Every Filipino I know loves Ginataan...a hot dessert of sweet potato and yam in sweetened coconut milk. We also add sliced Filipino Saba banana and little Mochiko balls (bilo bilo). Saba is a cooking banana similar to Plaintain, and can be found at Asian markets. Leave out the Saba if you can't locate it; do not use regular banana as it gets too mushy when cooked. Ginataan is Filipino comfort food at its finest!

Time 40m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes (buy a mix of yellow-flesh sweet potatoes and orange-flesh "yams")
1 saba banana, sliced bite-sized (buy at Asian market)
2 cups water
1/3 cup mochiko sweet rice flour
2 tablespoons water (or as needed)
14 ounces coconut milk (do not use Cream of Coconut) or 14 ounces light coconut milk (do not use Cream of Coconut)
1/2 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Wash and peel sweet potatoes and cut into 1-1/2 inch pieces. Keep cut potatoes under water in a prep bowl while you are preparing so they don't discolor.
  • Drain potatoes and transfer to a large saucepan. Add the sliced Saba. Pour in 2 cups water and bring to boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  • While potatoes and Saba are cooking, make the bilo bilo: In a small bowl, mix together the Mochiko flour and 2 tablespoons of water. Add more water as needed to make a dough that is not too sticky, not too dry. Roll into marble-size balls and set aside.
  • When potatoes are done, lower the heat to medium and gently drop the balls in the simmering water. They are fully cooked when they float to the top.
  • When the last ball floats, gently stir in the coconut milk and sugar to the mixture. Stir carefully so you don't break up the potatoes. Simmer for 5 minutes, then ladle into bowls and serve warm.
  • Store leftovers in fridge; reheat before serving.
