Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree or cooked kabocha squash
  • 1 cup glutinous rice flour (aka sticky rice flour or mochiko)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs or sesame seeds
  • neutral oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Mash 1 cup canned pumpkin puree or cooked kabocha squash into a puree (it's ok if there are some small lumps).
  2. Add 1 cup glutinous rice flour and 1/2 cup granulated sugar and mix well. Knead into a dough and add more flour if it’s too wet. The consistency should be a little softer than playdough.
  3. Form into small balls the size of ping pong balls, and flatten into 1-inch thick cakes.
  4. Tip 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs or sesame seeds into a plate or shallow bowl. Press each pumpkin cake into the bowl on both sides so that it’s covered in breadcrumbs.
  5. Air Fryer: Cover tray basket with aluminum foil. Drizzle plenty of oil onto the foil. Add pumpkin cakes and drizzle with more oil. Air fry 400 °F for 20 minutes, flip halfway through.
  6. Pan Fry: Pan-frying is the traditional way to cook these Chinese pumpkin cakes, for a softer, moister texture. Fill up a skillet with half an inch of oil and drop in the pumpkin cakes. Flip until each side is golden brown.
