Step1:Wash the pumpkin with clear water. Use a spoon to dig out the inside of the pumpkin (that is, the part with seeds). Use a knife to cut off the skin of the pumpkin. Cut into slices and put them into a large bowl for standb
Step2:Cover the big bowl with a layer of plastic wrap. Add enough water into the steamer to boil. Steam the pumpkin bowl for 15 minutes.
Step3:Take out the pumpkin after steaming. Stick it with chopsticks. If it's easy, it means the pumpkin is ripe. Use a rolling pin to mash the pumpkin in a bowl.
Step4:Add sugar and glutinous rice flour. Knead it into a rough dough. Put it in a bowl and cover it with a plastic wrap for about 20 minutes. Continue kneading and knead it into a smooth dough.
Step5:The dough is divided into 10 small balls. A friend with a kitchen scale can weigh 10 dough according to the standard of 40g. A bean paste filling can weigh 10 dough according to the standard of 35g.

Cooking tips:1. When steaming pumpkins, the fresh-keeping film is used to make the pumpkins more evenly heated. It is also used to prevent the excess water in the steamer from entering the pumpkin bowl, causing the loss of fragrance and nutrition. I always choose heat-resistant plastic wrap, or use the recently popular silicone cover. 2. Add a little flour to the glutinous rice flour. The moon cake skin is not so sticky. The q-shaped shell is chewy and delicious. 3. Before the dough is put into the moon cake mold, it must be moistened with more flour. The surface is not sticky before easy demoulding. If there is too much powder after demoulding, brush off the flour on the surface with a brush. If you don't brush it off and steam it directly, the moon cake surface will be affected by flour when it is out of the pot. 4. The stuffing of this kind of moon cake is just the bean paste stuffing. It doesn't need to be boiled like cantonese moon cake stuffing. Of course, it's OK to buy bean paste stuffing in the supermarket. There are skills in making delicious dishes.
