Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Steam the old pumpkin until soft in a steamer, let it cool and then grind it into puree.

   

2. 2 Add high-gluten flour and appropriate amount of water and mix.

   

3. 3 Mix and knead the dough until it is about the same softness and hardness as dumpling wrappers. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise for about half an hour.

   

4. 4 The glutinous rice needs to be washed in advance and soaked in water for 1-2 hours. Leave some water (just enough water to cover the rice grains) and steam it in a steamer for half an hour.

   

5. 5 Wash the shiitake mushrooms, squeeze out the water, and cut into cubes for later use.

   

6. 6 Heat an appropriate amount of rapeseed oil in a wok, add minced pork, diced mushrooms and ginger and stir-fry together. When the water is almost dry, add an appropriate amount of salt and chicken essence to taste.

   

7. 7 Turn off the heat, wait for the minced meat and diced mushrooms to cool down, then pour in the steamed glutinous rice, add an appropriate amount of light soy sauce and mix evenly to make the filling.

   

8. 8 Knead the pumpkin dough into small balls, use a rolling pin to roll it into a dough slightly larger and thinner than the dumpling wrapper, wrap the glutinous rice filling into siomai, and steam it in a steamer for 10 minutes.
