Steamed Rice Cake - Calasiao Style

In the Philippines, there are so many kinds or versions of puto or steamed rice cake. Each region has their own version. In this tutorial, I am showing you a version from Calasiao, a 1st class municipality in the province of Pangasinan. They are famous for their kakanins but most specially for their soft, sweet steamed rice cake. This rice cake or puto is different from the other versions since they make use of a rice roux which is responsible for the soft texture of their puto. In my version of this Calasiao specialty, I am using rice flour to make it easy for you to replicate it at home. The original Calasiao version uses rice which is soaked and then ground. Follow the instructions on the video and you will be rewarded with a soft textured rice cake. Good luck!
Correction:
There is a typo in the recipe at the end of the video.
You only need 1 1/2 cups water for the rice flour mixture and 1 cup water for the roux.
My apologies for the oversight.
Chef's Notes:
Addition of salt is optional.

haveto cool down first the roux? before adding to the first mixture?

[@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu]

No need to cool down unless you overcooked the roux. You can add directly to the first mixture.

Once you finish the roux, do you have to cool it off before adding to the first mixture?

[@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu]

You add the roux warm to the rice flour mixture.

Chef rose ano po gamit mo na rice flour? Gawa ko po hindi kasing white ng gawa mo. At hindi makunat gaya ng gawa mo. Thank you chef.

[@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu]

I use Polar rice flour but pwede naman kahit anong brand. Please try again baka may mali kang nagawa.

[@ChaD09071975]

Hello Chef Rose, thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe. I hope you don't mind me asking about an idea. Will it change the puto texture if I use Moscovado sugar?

[@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu]

Yes it will because moscovado sugar do not have the same profile of refined sugar. Taste will also be very different. For this recipe, I suggest you stick to white or use washed sugar.

[@ChaD09071975]

@@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu Super thanks Chef. More power and stay safe.

[@florabendig9274]

Chef Rose if you look at the recipe at the end of the video,there's another cup of water listed(not the one to make a rue). I'm wondering if it's an error that got unnoticed. Otherwise the water in the recipe will become 2 1/2 cups ?

[@ninia3254]

yan din po sana ask ko kay chef may another 1cup water together with yeast and baking powder hope masagutan question natin thank you chef

[@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu]

Thank you for calling my attention to the typo. You only need 1 1/2 cups water for the rice flour mixture and 1 cup water for the roux. My apologies for the oversight.

Another great recipe Chef Rose, can I use, Pandan n Ube flavor to the Puto.? In d water? Your reply will be answered. Thn u!

Yes you can use pandan flavor. Add it to the water.

Thnks again Chef Rose for your quick reply, more power! 👍

Chef Rose, what is d equivalent of 250 gram to cup? Your reply will be appreciated.

Salamat Chef🥰

[@madonnariecaballero545]

What will happen if i use Glutinous rice flour instead of ordinary riceflour only?

[@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu]

You don't make puto with glutinous rice flour. It will not rise as well because it will be too gummy.

[@angelasi]

hello po chef Rose, ask ko lng pano po kaya maalis ung amoy asim after maluto...kc nagtry po ako,salamat po.dito po ako sa riyadh.God bless po🙂🙏

[@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu]

Over fermented ang puto mixture mo if maasim siya.

[@luzrosas4824]

Can I use fresh milk instead of water? I love all your videos, simple clearly demonstrated. Your versions are different from the rest in so many aspect, like timing of putting the yeast first and allow it to bloom first (Fermentation stage) then the baking powder. You're a genius chef, bountiful blessings for you and your family. I copied all your recipes (2 logbooks now) exclusive for chef Rose. Salamat and looking forward for more awesome and exciting learnings from my Idol Chef Rose.

[@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu]

Yes you can but the authentic calasiao style puto uses only water. Thank you for watching my videos. It gives me great joy to know that you are enjoying my recipes.

[@adelaidamortell4888]

Thank you!

[@annelacey7007]

What makes Calaciao style different in taste?

[@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu]

It is softer and tastier than the usual yeast-raised puto.

[@annelacey7007]

@@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu I've had a type of puto that's a little more dense and sticky, but I don't know what style that is.

[@tanitz4201]

Thanks for sharing chef, how many days po ang shelf life of this puto?

[@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu]

2-3 days refrigerated. A month frozen.

Hello po maam how many in cups po ang 250 grams? Salamat po

[@ChefRoseofCaroandMarieCebu]

For this recipe, you really need to weigh the rice flour. For your reference, it is about 2 1/2 cups to 2 2/3 cups for 250 grams.
