Pumpkin buns

Overview

I haven’t eaten pumpkin for a long time. Yesterday I bought a pumpkin for 7 yuan per kilogram, and a pumpkin was more than 8 yuan. When my daughter saw it, she started clamoring for pumpkin glutinous rice balls. I was too busy, so I wanted to make steamed buns, so I mixed in my daughter’s student milk. Not to mention that the steamed buns with milk were really delicious and nice-looking, with a milky aroma and sweetness, so my daughter no longer clamored for glutinous rice balls. Pumpkin is sweet and warm in nature and enters the spleen and stomach meridian; it has the effects of nourishing qi, reducing inflammation and relieving pain, detoxifying and killing insects, lowering blood sugar and quenching thirst; it is mainly used to treat long-term illness and qi deficiency, weak spleen and stomach, shortness of breath and fatigue, loose stools, diabetes, roundworms and other diseases.
