Raw material picture.
Slice the pumpkin and steam until cooked.
Crush the steamed pumpkin into puree and set aside.
Pour an appropriate amount of flour into the pumpkin puree and stir into a fluffy consistency.
Whisk together the flour, knead into a smooth dough, and set aside to rise.
Let the dough double in size.
Cut into small pieces.
Press flat and roll into dough.
Add the mashed bean paste and wrap it up like a bun, pinching the edges of the dough tightly.
Leave the wrapped bean buns for 20 minutes and then let them rise again (this step is indispensable because the surface of the steamed bean buns will be smoother after the second fermentation).
After 20 minutes, add cold water to the pot and start steaming for 10 minutes. The time depends on the size of the bean buns. After steaming, simmer for 2 minutes and remove from the pot.
