Cooking tips

  • Microwaving the pumpkin for 2–3 minutes before peeling makes the tough skin softer and much easier to remove with a knife.
  • Avoid leaving any greenish parts of the pumpkin skin—these can affect both texture and appearance.
  • Using store-bought chestnuts and pre-boiled red beans saves time and effort compared to preparing them from scratch at home.
  • Adding glutinous rice flour directly without dissolving it in water allows it to clump naturally, giving the dish a satisfyingly chewy, sticky quality similar to adding sae-ong-sim.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a comforting meal with pumpkin, chestnuts, and red beans in a smooth texture.
  • Home cooks who want to make a homemade pumpkin porridge thickened with glutinous rice flour.
