Raisin Pumpkin Hair Cake
1.
Prepare all the ingredients.
2.
Clean the pumpkin, then cut off the hard skin on the outside, dig out the pumpkin flesh and pumpkin seeds inside, cut into pieces with a knife, and put it in a plate.
3.
Put clean water into the triangular kettle of the Qiao Ke Desweet Rice Cooker, and it is enough to reach the mark of the lowest water level.
4.
Put the pumpkin dish into Donnie Yen, and then put Donnie Yen in the triangular kettle.
5.
Turn on the rice cooker and select the "steamed coarse grains" program. The default time of the program is 40 minutes, but it doesn't take that long in practice. You can open the lid halfway and observe it. If the pumpkin is ripe, you can turn off the power.
6.
Steam the pumpkin until it is completely cooked and soft enough that it can be easily pierced through with chopsticks.
7.
Take 200g of steamed pumpkin, put it in a large bowl, and crush it into pumpkin puree with a spoon.
8.
Soak the raisins in clean water for 20 minutes in advance, then drain the moisture, and use a kitchen towel to absorb the moisture on the surface.
9.
After the pumpkin puree is aired until it is not hot, add the yeast powder and stir until the yeast melts. The freshly steamed pumpkin puree is very hot, so you must let it dry before adding the yeast powder, otherwise the high temperature will scald the live yeast to death and it will not be able to ferment.
10.
Add flour and raisins. The amount of raisins is not fixed, you can increase or decrease freely as you like.
11.
Mix all the pumpkin puree, flour and raisins and stir well.
12.
The batter for making hair cakes should be a thicker paste, not a dough like steamed buns. If it feels dry, add an appropriate amount of pumpkin puree to adjust the dry humidity.
13.
Pour the mixed pumpkin batter into a six-inch round live-bottom cake mold, dip the back of the spoon with water, and smooth the surface of the pumpkin batter. The batter is very sticky, so it won't be sticky when a spoon is dipped in water.
14.
Put the pumpkin batter in an airtight space, ferment until it becomes noticeably larger, and decorate the surface with red date slices.
15.
Cover the surface of the mold with plastic wrap and put it into the yen of the rice cooker. The purpose of covering with plastic wrap is to prevent water vapor from falling into the batter.
16.
The rice cooker selects the "Nutrition Steaming" program and steams for 20 minutes. It can also be steamed in an ordinary steamer.
17.
Take out the steamed pumpkin pudding, cut into chunks and eat it.
Tips:
1. The red dates on the surface of the hair cake can be replaced with nuts, raisins, etc. according to personal preference.
2. No water is added to this raisin pumpkin pudding, and the noodles are made completely with steamed pumpkin puree. No sugar is added, it is the sweetness of pumpkin and raisins. If there is no problem with blood sugar and the taste is relatively sweet, you can add an appropriate amount of white sugar to increase the sweetness.
3. Seal the unfinished rice cakes and put them in the refrigerator for storage, and re-steam them when you eat them next time.
