Rice Puto (Steamed Rice Cake): a Perfect Recipe from the Past

Rice Puto (steamed rice cake) is a classic snack often pedaled by street vendors during the not so long-ago days. The vendor has one container filled with puto and the other has kutsinta ( also a native delicacy). Though the vendors are still around, it is quite noticeable that the rice puto and kutshinta are not the same anymore. They are not sliced but are in muffin shape type. The taste is no longer the same.
I am glad to see perfect recipes of rice puto from the past which I followed. The video shows how simple are the ingredients used. These are rice flour, sugar, and yeast. The list of ingredients used is shown below.
The steps are simple as well and easy to follow. The only thing that we have to be mindful of is to use the exact amount of each ingredients suggested in the recipe. The key is to use a digital weighing scale!
In the end, the prepared rice puto is fluffy and spongy in texture. The size is kept and does not shrink. It is chewy. You can taste the sweet rice wine flavour that is subtle and not too sweet!
I hope you will give this a try.

Measuring style is crazy…way too dramatic

Hi Penelope, Thank you for the review and comment. When I was filming this recipe, I didn’t envision it to be too dramatic. I guess it just turned out to be that way. What I would like to emphasize is measuring the ingredients in grams, thus the use of a digital measuring scale. This Rice Puto (Steamed Rice Cake) is a recipe from the past. I am glad that I was able to find the recipe of my favourite snack when I was a child. Cheers!!!😊

@@katernofoods is there anyway to use measuring cups instead of scale….thanks for your response ❤️

@@penelopesee7361 I used the measuring scale for this recipe and I gained success. I have not tried using cups, tablespoon and the likes. Sorry…🥲

@@penelopesee7361yes. If you are not comfortable using the scale system, you can use the internet if you want to know the conversion from scale to cups
