" DODOL "
The first thing to do in making the dodol is to make the "tapong " .
Making the Tapong:
Soak overnight 6 cups of glutinous rice in 6 cups of water. Drain out
the water and grind the rice on a grinder. One can also use the
"endo ago lusong "(mortar and pestle). Pound until very fine tapong
is obtained. Strain with a very fine strainer ( ayaka ) or mosquito net
to eliminate the coarse particles or grains. Replace the amount of drained water
with an equal amount of fresh water. This preparation is basic for all mamis which
calls for tapong . . .
Ingredients for making the Dodol
6 cups rice soaked and processed to a tapong
6 cups brown sugar
12 cups very thick coconut milk
1 cup durian pulp for flavoring
Utensils :
1.) Kawa or big kara (vat)
2.) Kalo (wooden or iron "paddle")
Procedure for making the Dodol :
1. Mix tapong with sugar and durian pulp. Set aside.
2. Boil coconut milk.
3. Add tapong, durian and sugar mixture.
4. Under moderate heat, continue mixing until the mixture becomes reddish-brown and elastic
but does not break. ( The dodol is now cooked ).
5. Remove from the fire. Place the dodol on a flat tray and knead until it is about 1/2" thin. Slice
into desired portions.
- If you desire a harder dodol, simply let the mixture stay in moderate heat for a longer period .
- Use glutinous rice instead of ordinary rice in order to produce a more elastic dodol.
- If more coconut milk is used, so much the better. It will yield better results and the product
will stay longer.
- If darker, violet dodol is desired, use granulated refined sugar instead of "red" or brown sugar.
