Tips:
1. Cut the pumpkin into thin slices and then steam, the thinner the better, which shortens the steaming time and saves energy. The steamed pumpkin should be mashed after the water is cleaned to prevent too much water and the noodles are too soft.
2. The noodles should be a little harder to make it easier to shape. My pumpkin noodles didn't add any more water, but the purple potato noodles only added a little water. It depends on the draught of flour.
3. Stagger the colors as much as possible to assemble the flowers, so that there is a sense of hierarchy.
4. After turning off the fire, let it cool for 3-5 minutes and then lift the lid to prevent the finished product from collapsing due to rapid cooling.
