Instant Pot Suman

Instant Pot Suman. Cooking Suman in the Instant Pot Duo Crisp is similar to the traditional Suman cooked in the steamer. The recipe is the same, but the cooking time is way quicker when it’s steamed in the Instant Pot – 15 minutes.

What is Suman

Suman is a Filipino snack made of sticky rice wrapped in banana leaves. Suman is often served on holidays and special occasions. This is sold on street stalls and restaurants in the Philippines.

What I love about this snack is, its capacity to fill you up easily. It is also very easy to make, that you can make this at home.

Equipment

I want to emphasize each instant pot is different, and some settings may not be on the instant pot you got. In my case, I am using Instant Pot Duo Crisp 11-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker with Air Fryer Lid, 8 Quart. This Instant pot doesn’t have the rice setting, so I am using the pressure cooker setting.

Instant Pot Suman Step by Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Sticky rice-Soak the sticky rice with water and soak  overnight. Drain the water using a strainer. Shake the strainer to remove excess water.
Step two: Prepare the Instant Duo-Place the inner pot in and place the air fryer tray. Add in five cups of water and put the dehydrating tray. Cover the dehydrating tray with parchment paper and spread the sticky rice on top and cover it with the pressure cooker lid. Push the steam button. Set the timer for twenty minutes. Quick release when done. Let the sticky rice cool down and prepare to wrap the sticky rice with the banana leaves.
Step three: Make the sauce . Put the sauce ingredients in a medium sized sauce pan. Let it simmer in low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Pout the sauce into the rice and mix. Let the sauce absorb into rice by letting them sit for one hour.

Step 4: Place the rice in the banana leaves and roll. Fold both ends of the banana leaves to seal. Arrange them into the dehydrating tray and steam for fifteen minutes.

Notes

There are several processes for making Suman. First, you cook the sticky rice by steaming it in the Instant Pot. Second, you wrap the sticky rice with the banana leaves and steam it again.

I always steam my sticky rice ahead of time, and I freeze it. When I am ready to cook it, I thaw it on the counter and wrap it with the banana leaves. And steam.
