How to make folk glutinous rice cakes in southern Fujian

Half a pumpkin, sugar 100g, and appropriate amount of glutinous rice flour.

working methods

1. Peel and seed pumpkin, cut it into small pieces, put it directly on a steamer and steam it in a pot. It takes about 20 minutes to stick it with chopsticks until it becomes soft.

2. Put the steamed pumpkin into a big container, add sugar and press it into paste with a big spoon. Try the sweetness at this time, a little sweeter than usual, because glutinous rice flour is added.

3. Add glutinous rice flour to pumpkin puree until it can be kneaded into dough. Although there is no liquid in pumpkin, surprisingly, it can absorb quite a lot of glutinous rice flour.

4. Then, divide the pumpkin dough into small portions, knead it round, flatten it, put a little plain oil in the pot, and fry it thoroughly on both sides over medium heat.
