Type of steamed rice cake
Binakle is a type of
steamed
rice cake originating from the
Ifugao province of the
Philippines. It is made from
glutinous rice (diket) that is pounded into a paste, wrapped in
banana or
rattan leaves, and steamed. Variants may also add
sesame seeds or
sweet potato. They are popularly eaten on special occasions or as a snack. Uncooked binakle, along with
rice wine (baya), are common offerings to the
bulul
ancestor spirits in Ifugao rituals.
