Ginataang Mais (Sweet Corn and Rice Pudding with Coconut Milk)

(from largomason’s recipe box)

Ingredients

  • 1 can cream style corn, about 2 cups
  • 1 can whole sweet corn kernels (including the liquid), about 2 cups
  • 1 cup sweet rice, sticky rice, glutinous rice, or Calrose rice
  • 2 cans coconut milk, about 4 cups
  • 3 cups water
  • 3/4 to 1 cup sugar*

Directions

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a large pot. Bring to a boil then lower the heat to medium and let it simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom. Cook for about 20-25 minutes or until the rice is cooked.

  2. (If you want, you can replace the two cans of corn with 3-4 ears of fresh corn. Just cut the kernels off the cob with a knife and scrape the cob with a spoon to get the corn “milk”)
  3. *This is really up to you and your tastebuds. You can start with 3/4 cup of sugar and just add more later. Like my grandma says, just taste it and adjust until it tastes right
