What to get ready

  • Photograph of Rice flour Rice flour 1.3 lb
  • Photograph of Pumpkin Pumpkin 1.1 lb
  • Photograph of Sugar Sugar 5.6 oz
  • Photograph of Red bean Red bean 8.5 oz
  • Photograph of Salt Salt 0.4 oz

Method

  1. 1 Steam the pumpkin until cooked, then mash it and let it cool slightly to prevent it from cooking the flour.
  2. 2 Mix the pumpkin puree into the rice flour, knead well by hand, then sift thoroughly twice.
  3. 3 Since the pumpkin already contains water, add very little water; test by squeezing it – if it forms a cohesive mass, then it's enough.
  4. 4 Mix the sugar just before steaming, then sprinkle it alternately with the red bean paste in the mold.
  5. 5 Steam over high heat for 25 minutes, then let it rest for 5 minutes before removing it from the mold.

With an appliance

  • Pressure cooker 50 min

    Replace step 5: steam the pumpkin pie mold under low pressure for 12 minutes, then release the pressure naturally for 5 minutes before removing the mold; steps 1–4 remain the same.
