Ingredients with Measurements:
- 2 cups glutinous rice
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup tapuy (rice wine)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 ripe mangoes, sliced
Special equipment needed:
- Large pot
- Cheesecloth or clean cloth
- Bamboo basket or steamer
Step-by-step instructions:
1. Rinse the glutinous rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and transfer to a large pot.
2. Add 2 cups of water to the pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid. Let the rice simmer for 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked.
3. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and let it cool down for a few minutes.
4. Add the tapuy and brown sugar to the bowl and mix well until the sugar is fully dissolved.
5. Line a bamboo basket or steamer with cheesecloth or a clean cloth. Transfer the rice mixture to the basket and spread it out evenly.
6. Cover the basket with a lid and let it ferment for 2-3 days in a warm and dark place. Check the tapuy every day and stir it gently to distribute the yeast.
7. After 2-3 days, the tapuy should be ready. Taste it and adjust the sweetness if needed.
8. To serve, slice the mangoes and arrange them on a plate. Scoop some tapuy onto the plate and serve immediately.
