''Puto kutsinta'' or ''kutsinta'' (also spelled ''kutchinta'' or ''cuchinta'') is a type of steamed rice cake (''puto'') found throughout the Philippines. It is made from a mixture of rice flour, brown sugar and lye, enhanced with yellow food coloring or annatto extract, and steamed in small ramekins. The cooked cakes are topped with fresh grated meat from mature coconut.〔del Mundo, Angelita M. "Emerging Versions of Some Traditional Philippine Rice Food Products." ''Disappearing Foods: Studies in Foods and Dishes at Risk: Proceedings of the Oxford Symposium on Food and Cookery''. 1994〕 It is consumed year-round as a ''merienda'' or snack, and is frequently sold along with ''puto''. Unlike its counterpart, which has a doughy texture, ''kutsina'' has a jelly-like, chewy consistency. It can be also enhanced by adding ''latik'' for a sweeter taste. Philippine president Noynoy Aquino expressed fondness for ''kutsinta'' after receiving two pieces from another Filipino for Christmas during his exile in Boston.〔(Speech of President Aquino at the meeting with the Filipino community in Malaysia, February 27, 2014 )〕 ==See also== * Puto * Philippine cuisine * List of steamed foods 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kutsinta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
