Cooking method
editLupis is made by first soaking glutinous rice in water, salt, and lime juice.[5] After draining the water, the soaked glutinous rice is moved onto banana leaves in single serving size portions to be wrapped for shaping.[5] The wrapped rice triangles are then put aside for the creation of the syrup condiment. Coconut sugar is dissolved in water and brought to a boil and left to thicken.[5] Grated coconut is then sprinkled on top of the unwrapped lupis and drizzled with coconut sugar syrup to be served.
