Instant Pot Ilonggo Ginat-an or Taro Tapioca Coconut Dessert

Instant Pot Ilonggo Ginat-an (Taro & Tapioca Coconut Dessert)

Ginat-an is a popular afternoon snack in Iloilo and Guimaras Province. It is a warm, comforting sweet soup made with sliced saba bananas, taro (dag-may), sweet potato, ube, coconut milk, colorful sago pearls, and glutinous rice.

Growing up, I loved eating taro (dag-may). My grandma had plenty of taro plants near her rice mill, and I remember how she would harvest the taro roots, leaves, and stalks to make various delicious dishes.

Note: I omitted sweet potatoes from this Instant Pot version because they tend to get too mushy when pressure cooked.

    Hello. What do you mean by pressure cook for one minute then 20 minute NPR? Specifically the NPR part. I have a 10-in-1 instant pot and I would be extremely happy if I can cook tapioca pearls in my instant pot as opposed to the grueling task of cooking it the traditional way. Thanks in advance.

      Sorry for the late reply. I've been busy at work. It means, you press the button on your instant pot on manual mode, cook for 1 minute. After 1 minute is done, it will switch to warm mode and will count down from 1. Once it reach 20 minutes, release the remaining pressure if there is still left. Open the lid, mix and eat. For the tapioca pearl, I only use E-FA Brand boba pearl and that brand never fails me. I tried a cheaper brand of tapioca pearl last time, it disintegrate. I hope this helps.
