Cooking tips

  • Blending the pumpkin removes its chewy texture; instead, boiling it thoroughly and mashing it by hand preserves a satisfying, rustic mouthfeel.
  • When making the dough, avoid adding too much water at once—it will become sticky and clumpy. Add lukewarm water gradually and mix until the dough forms a dry, crumbly consistency.
  • Stir the bottom of the pot occasionally with a spatula to prevent the glutinous rice or beans from sticking and burning.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a soft yet substantial pumpkin dish.
  • People nostalgic for the comforting taste of grandmother’s or mother’s homemade pumpkin porridge from childhood.
  • Fans of desserts packed with chestnuts, sweet potatoes, and beans who enjoy a satisfying chewy texture.
