Balisungsung

Balisungsung (white rice wrapped in banana leaves) is a specialty of the City of Malolos in the province of Bulacan, PHILIPPINES. In Bulacan, you will always see balisungsung served during fiestas (church, barrio, or town) special ocassions (weddings, baptisms, anniversaries, pabasa or passion reading during Holy Week) and big parties (housewarming, family gatherings). Each wrapped rice is equivalent to a scoop of rice (kinda like individual servings beautifully packaged). It is NOT a dessert, NOT a snack. It is intended to be eaten with your favorite food dish as a substitute for your normal everyday plain steaming white rice.

Ingredients: White Rice (main ingredient), Banana Leaves (to wrap rice prior to cooking), Water, Salt (to taste)
