How to Make Kueh Tutu Without Tutu Mold | Putu Piring | Steamed Rice Cake | 嘟嘟糕 - 无需特殊模具

In loving memory of my sister, Carrie Cheong, who appeared with me in this video. May she rest in peace. January 4th, 2024.
Cake mold I used in the video.:

"Thank you everyone for watching my video. I've received a few comments about their kuehs not cooked through or too dry. If you came across the same problem, remember these two points: 1. Do not press or compact the rice mixture when you spoon it into the mold, leave it loose so that the steam can flow through, 2. Be sure to use enough water in the recipe. I hope this helps! Happy cooking!"
This easy, how-to video guides you in preparing a sweet tasting Asian dish that very few Westerners have experienced. Kueh Tutu-also called "Putu Piring" in Malay-is a popular steamed rice cake snack eaten in Singapore and Malaysia. I show you how to make these without using the special tutu mold. There are many variations of this dish in other Asian countries, but all have in common a soft, yet bouncy, texture. If you haven't tried these delightful treats, don't miss out any longer.
I hope you find this video useful. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel! Thank you.

I am David from México, 27 years ago I was in Singapore taking a course that lasted 30 days . I tasted for the first time this delicious treat!!. I was so pleased with the flavor that I asked for the name. I remember “tutu cake”. I haven’t tried since then. Well after 27 years maybe I don’t remember much about my course in Singapore but I do remember 100% the flavor of the tutu. I will try to do it here in México although I will have to change a little bit some of the ingredients. Thanks a lot!!

I tried this recipe! I would recommend adding more sugar and water to the flour though because mine came out quite dry and tasteless to my taste. Thanks for the video :)

Bangladeshis enjoy something very similar as this. We use date sugar and coconut as filling. Called bhapa pita. We definitely have similar roots!

The fundamental concept of this cake very similar to countryside’s in Vietnam and Cambodia they put the ingredients into a cyclone bamboo steam in a special pan,for a while,then removed it from bamboo cyclone and slices put some coconut and sesame seed mixed.

[@jangridley1541]

Where do you buy the muslin cloth

[@elizabethquintal2499]

Please clarify the ingredients in your recipe. 250g of rice flour was noted as 2 cups, which should just be 1 cup as it is only 8.8 oz if it is 250g. So please verify how much rice flour should be used, 1 cup or 2 cups? Thank you.

[@FineArtofCooking]

Thanks for watching. You don't mix the cup measurement with the matrix system. The cup is for measuring of volume, not weight. If you fill a cup with flour and then weight the flour separately, it's approx 125g. I hope this helps.

You can get them in any kitchen utensil stores. Ask for egg tart mold. Otherwise, you can buy online at amzn.to/45fQpdS

[@abangl1882]

Hi, when I remove the muslin cloth after sitting in the steamer, the flour came loose. Why is it not holding together like yours?

[@FineArtofCooking]

I think you pressed the rice flour too tight so they were not cooked through. Try packing it lightly so steam can circulate. Good luck!

[@FineArtofCooking]

[@Someone-ye3pc]

I tried it out and I can't mold the kueh tutu, it just keeps falling apart

[@FineArtofCooking]

Use more water and place the mixture loosely into the mold. Please check the video description for more tips. Good luck!

[@chianerissa2009]

Any idea why there is still so much flour at the base of the mould after steaming? I've tried steaming for a long period of time but it's still the same. Thank you.

[@FineArtofCooking]

May be you pressed the rice flour too tightly! Just place the mixture onto the mold, do not press or compact it, keep it in place and un-mold.

[@prabhuseva6018]

Is this any special kind of rice flour(like glutinous flour) or any normal rice flour would do

[@FineArtofCooking]

This is just plain rice flour. Glutinous rice flour will not work, it's too sticky

[@prabhuseva6018]

Thank you so much.....

[@arfanation9447]

What is the alternate name of muslin cloth?

[@arfanation9447]

Fine Art of Cooking thank you. Do you have any link/e-commerce website that sell Putu/Tutu moulds & steamer? I'm from Indonesia, i found it hard to find these stuffs.

[@SS-jf8qd]

You can try find under "cheese cloth". Managed to find it under this name instead.

[@sritanjung9868]

Bagus

[@fuzzybunny488]

how do you make the kueh less floury and more soft

[@FineArtofCooking]

Try to add a little more water. Also, don't press the dough too tight, give it rooms to expand. I hope this helps.

[@farhananyc1963]

hi, what is the purpose of the pandan leaves?

[@FineArtofCooking]

Pandan is used for flavoring. It has a sweet aroma. When you heat it up, it releases its aroma and infuses the rice flour in this recipe. I hope this helps.

[@ivyksh]

@@FineArtofCooking thanks for sharing, why cannot steam with the pandan leafs

[@jiawenkhoo4167]

是粘米粉吗？

[@FineArtofCooking]

是粘米粉, 不是糯米粉.

[@yuhuanhan2658]

May I know why the tutu doesn’t seem to cook after steaming for about 20 mins?

[@FineArtofCooking]

There are two reasons I can think of: 1. don't press or compact the rice mixture when you spoon into the mold, the rice will expand during steaming. If packed tightly, steam can't circulate, 2. Be sure to use enough water on the rice. Good luck!

[@ayudong]

I’m having the same issue... what do you mean have to add enough water on the rice?

[@ningkoh735]

Same problem for me I checked 8 mins on medium heat. Still very dry. Tried twice. My mixture was same powdery consistency like the video. What did I do wrong?

I tried this recipe and the flour is just way too salty for my liking and I had to throw it out....

[@FineArtofCooking]

Sorry to hear that. Your comment is helpful to me. I would suggest viewers to reduce the salt amount if they prefer less savory cake.

[@blackheartedmanswife378]

I believe tutu from word tamil word putu. My humble request say puttu not tutu. This is because puttu is indian’s traditional food. You can say kueh puttu. Thanks.

[@karjeecheng9024]

kueh tutu is not indian - it's originated from a traditional chinese rice cake recipe from Fujian Province in China. The creator of this recipe adapted it by creating various fillings. "tutu" is simply the sound of the steam hissing as the cakes are steamed in a special steamer.

[@FineArtofCooking]

Thank you Kar Jee Cheng for the clarification. I appreciate your insight.

[@mingkalli1716]

I agree. Chinese in SEA like to cooped other people food and present them as Chinese. Malay community is the victim. Making and selling putti, is profitable, so.... They it as this

The recipe did not work for me. It is too dry. I had to throw away most of it because nobody wants to eat. Can't get the texture like those sold outside.

[@FineArtofCooking]

Sorry to hear that. Two things I found that make this recipe dry is packing the rice flour too tight (thus preventing steam getting thru) in the mold or not mixing in enough water.

This is Kueh tutu alright. Not Putu Piring
