Kim Dae-seok's Pumpkin Mochi

A nostalgic hand-made texture recreated by blending the sweetness of dried old pumpkin with the nutty richness of red bean paste, combined with moist rice flour for a traditional treat.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding sea salt when boiling red beans a second time helps prevent the beans from splitting or their skins from bursting.
  • Maintaining the exact 5:2 ratio of non-glutinous to glutinous rice flour ensures the mochi has the perfect chewy textureโ€”neither too dry nor too sticky.
  • Creating deep holes with a wooden chopstick during steaming (at the 15-minute mark) allows steam to circulate evenly, ensuring the center cooks through without becoming dry or crumbly.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to successfully make healthy, chewy traditional mochi at home.
  • People seeking a nutritious snack that highlights the natural sweetness of old pumpkin and the clean taste of red beans.
  • Families wanting to share nostalgic homemade flavors during holidays or special occasions.
