Masi is a dish of glutinous rice balls with a peanut and muscovado filling from Cebu, Philippines. It is made from sweetened galapong (ground-soaked glutinous rice) shaped into little balls with a filling of chopped roasted peanuts and muscovadoorbrown sugar. It is then boiled in water until it floats. It can also be steamed. It is traditionally sold wrapped in banana leaves.[1][2][3][4] Masi can be modified to use different fillings, like chocolateorpeanut butter.[5] Coconut milk may also be used to give the dough a creamier flavor.[3]
