Kim Dae-seok's Pumpkin Mochi

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 texture—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.
