Puto Ube With Cheese
Puto Ube like most puto is a steamed cake that can either be made with rice flour or just the usual all-purpose flour, it is easy to distinguish compared to most due to its vibrant purple color coming from its main ingredient called ube or purple yam. The taste will be quite different as well due to the subtle hints of ube, if you haven’t tried it yet it will taste somewhere between a normal yam and a sweet potatoes. Like the normal puto this rice cake can be topped with cheese or salted duck eggs, it can be enjoyed as a snack or as a side dish with dinuguan or Pancit.
