Soft and moist buns
We
had a bit of fun making these steamed buns. Puto is a staple in the
Philippines with different variants found throughout China and Southeast
Asia. The Filipino word “puto” literally means rice cake.
The traditional process from rice grains to actual serving of puto takes over
two days. Look for different preparations - depending on specific regions
- throughout the Philippines, too. Rice flour and water are the two main
ingredients of this food item. Meanwhile, puto is traditionally cooked
through steaming. Filipinos like to serve puto with Dinuguan as a
heavy afternoon snack or with coffee in the morning. Lastly, puto
possesses a soft, sticky, and light texture. We suggest serving puto
instead of steamed rice in a pinch if you’re out of rice.
