Method

  1. 1 Steam the pumpkin for 15 minutes, then mash it and let it cool slightly until it's still warm.
  2. 2 Mix the glutinous rice flour into the warm pumpkin without adding water; the moisture from the pumpkin will absorb all the liquid from the flour.
  3. 3 Cook red beans until tender with sugar to form a thick paste, then roll into small balls.
  4. 4 Wrap the filling in the dough, flatten it to 1.5 cm, then roll both sides in roasted sesame seeds.
  5. 5 Fry over low heat for 4 minutes on each side; high heat will burn the crust while leaving the center of the pastry raw.

With an appliance

  • Air fryer 43 min

    Replace step 5: lightly spray both sides of the sesame-coated pumpkin pie with oil, fry in an air fryer at 175 degrees for 12 minutes, flipping at the 7th minute to ensure the pie cooks through without the sesame seeds burning.
