Pumpkin Chicken Steamed Buns

Method

1. 01

   Step 1

   First, wash the pumpkin, steam it until cooked, remove the pulp, and mash it into a puree.

   

2. 02

   Step 2

   Put water in two bowls, dissolve the yeast, and then add a large spoonful of sugar. In one bowl, add more water and flour directly to form a white dough. In the other bowl, add less water, pumpkin puree, and flour, and knead to form a yellow dough.

   Roll each 100-gram portion of the yellow dough into a ball.

   Step 7

   Make two holes in each one with chopsticks and insert black beans as eyes. Then make eight more teardrop-shaped wings.

   

8. 08

   Step 8

   After assembling the eyes and wings, prepare a small amount of red dough. Use four teardrop shapes to make the comb, eight small round balls to make the red cheeks, and four spindle shapes to make the beak.

    Step 10

    After letting it rest in the pot for 20 minutes, put it in a pot with cold water, bring it to a boil over high heat, and then cook for 6-7 minutes. The cooking time depends on the size of the cake; mine is relatively small, so the cooking time is shorter.

    Step 11

    Don't open the lid immediately after steaming. I was in a hurry to take pictures, and the steamed buns started to shrink as soon as they cooled down.
