Pandan in Rice

Leave a comment Posted by on September 23, 2014

To achieve an aromatic rice every saing, include few blades of pandan leaves in the steaming.

My only pot of pandan plant, my source of fresh pandan leaves. Just cut few blades for saing purposes

After washing, tie leaves together in the same manner as how tanglad blades are tied. Then place inside the rice cooker or caldero at the start of the saing

The fragrant cooked rice. Ambrosial.

The Making of Puto Maya

Leave a comment Posted by on August 14, 2014

I chanced upon this guy steaming glutinous rice and about to make puto maya in Carbon Market. Here’s a photo narration in the right sequence of this guy’s method in making puto maya.

image

Steam the glutinous rice (bugas pilit) al dente in the caldero

image

In a sando plastic bag covered hand, use plastic plate to transfer the steamed pilit into a tub

image

Prepare a mixture of coconut milk (gata) and sugar with salt

image

Pour the gata onto the cooked pilit

image

Mix well the gata with the cooked pilit using the versatile plastic plate

image

Put the well mixed pilit back in the caldero

image

After putting everything back, steam again until fully cooked. From what I gather from the guy’s conversation with another person, this puto maya was ordered for a wake

A jolly puto maya vendor in Carbon Market. Another type of glutinous rice for this one known locally as tapol. My favorite
