Made by a friend.

Mochi “Pumpkin” Thingies

Not their real name, I can’t pronounce what she calls them in Chinese. I don’t think she uses pumpkin, more like kabocha squash, have to confirm with her later.

Mochi rice flour, kabocha squash or pumpkin, sugar, and red bean filling. Can be steamed or pan-fried. Last time she made them, we steamed them, they were okay.

This time, we tried pan-frying.

Enjoy. Eat well.
