Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by preheating your steamer and preparing the mold or containers for your Bibingkoy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Gradually pour in the coconut milk, stirring continuously until the mixture forms a smooth batter.
  4. Gently fold in the mashed red mung beans, diced langka, and cooked sago. Make sure everything is well blended.
  5. Carefully pour the mixture into your prepared mold, filling them to about 3/4 full to allow room for expanding during cooking.
  6. Place the molds in the steamer and steam for about 30-40 minutes, or until set firm.
  7. Allow the Bibingkoy to cool before gently removing from the molds. Serve warm and enjoy every bite!
