Steam Cake (Puto)
Our home in Chula Vista, was near my husband's aunt, Yoshi. Yoshi is an excellent cook and she is one of the biggest things I miss about southern California. Japanese and Okinawan cooking has very little baking in it since few traditional Japanese homes had ovens like we do in the states. She shared a recipe for a simple, but tasty steam cake. It's "baked" in a bamboo steamer over boiling water. I could never quite achieve the same quality that Auntie Yoshi does but it is fun to make and a way that my children can enjoy some of their Okinawan heritage.
