Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 The pumpkin is steamed. I steam it together with other foods, but it can also be cooked in the microwave. I don't peel the pumpkin when I steam it. It's very convenient to peel it with a spoon after steaming.

   

2. 2 Prepare sugar and dates. I use about 20g of sugar for 200g of flour, I like this ratio, it’s not too sweet.

   

3. 3 Add water to pumpkin and use a food processor to make a paste. Don’t add too much water, you can also use milk.

   

4. 4 The batter is very fine. You can't see the pumpkin in the steamed cake, only the golden color. It's great. If you don't have a food processor, you can mash it with a spoon.

   

5. 5 After beating the batter, you can actually make pumpkin soup using this method.

   

6. 6 Add sugar and yeast to the pumpkin paste. For yeast, use sugar-tolerant yeast. For 200 grams of flour, 3 or 4 grams of yeast will suffice. Chop the red dates and add them to the pumpkin paste.

   

7. 7 Add flour and mix well.

   

8. 8 The dough is a bit softer than our usual steamed bun dough. My dough is a little wet, it should be drier.

   

9. 9 No need to knead the dough, just mix it evenly.

   

10. 10 Divide the dough into heat-resistant containers. I used a six-inch cake mold and a heat-resistant bowl. The container needs to be greased.

    

11. 11 Fermentation takes about 2 hours at room temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. It’s best to place it in a closed space, either a microwave or an oven, it doesn’t start and only uses the space.

    

12. 12 After the dough has risen, there is a little too much dough in the bowl and it has risen too high.

    

13. 13 Cut the dates into pieces and place on top of the risen dough.

    

14. 14 Put it in a steamer and steam it. After the water boils, time it to 30 minutes.

    

15. 15 Turn off the heat and steam for two minutes.

    

16. 16 Let the pot cool slightly and then use a demoulding knife to remove it from the mold.

    

17. 17 Cut into pieces and ready to eat.
