Steamed Pumpkin Mochi
These pumpkin mochi are a fun fall treat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups glutinous rice flour
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup sugar
- optional spices: 1 tsp cinnamon, or 1 tsp pumpkin spice
Instructions
- Pour all the ingredients into a bowl and mix until thoroughly combined. You may need to add some water to the dough if it is too dry. The dough should be sticky, but if you touch it, it should not stick to your hands. Add water, or more glutinous rice flour until the dough comes together and doesn’t stick to your hands.
- Take small chunks of dough and roll them to form balls and place them on a steamer, about 1 inch apart. The balls will not really expand when steamed, so use portions similar to what you want your serving size to be.
- Using a sharp knife, draw indents into the balls, so that they resemble pumpkins. I found that the best technique was to start at the bottom of the dough and slice upward and curved at an angle.
- Steam for approximately 10- 15 minutes. Make sure a cover is put over the steamer.
- Let the balls cool completely. When they are completely cooled, they should be easy to pick up to serve. You can garnish with something green for decoration. I put tiny parsley leaves on top.
- It is best to serve these balls the same day or the next day. After that they will lose their chewy texture.
