Tikoy is a sticky steamed rice cake which is normally eaten in the Philippines when Chinese New Year is celebrated. This Chinese tradition was adopted by Filipinos for many years. It is believed that Tikoy is a sign of good luck. It is also called year cake or Chinese New Year's cake prepared traditionally using glutinous rice.

Tikoy can be  eaten raw (right after steaming) but it is usually cooked - sliced, coated/dipped in beaten egg then fried. Now, that we have the recipe, we don't have to wait every Chinese New Year to get the taste of this lucky steamed rice cake. Delicious and easy to make.

I haven't tried baking it but maybe you can by using a water bath method. To prepare a water bath, put your filled pan in a larger pan and add enough boiling -hot water to reach halfway up the side of the smaller pan with your tikoy batter.

Hi. I apologize for the late response. For some reason, I did not get notified about this comment.

No, that will be kakanin or kalamay lansong if you add coconut milk.
