Equipment

1 stock-pot
1 wooden spatula
Electric Cooker Optional

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1 1/2 to 2 pound Korean pumpkin or Kabocha squash, seeded and peeled, and thinly sliced (about 7 cups)
  • 1 cup glutinous rice powder
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • Salt

Instructions

  • Bring the water to a boil in a stock-pot over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, add the pumpkin slices, and cook until tender, about 30 minutes.
  • With a wooden spatula or spoon, mash the pumpkin into the water left in the pot.
  • Reduce the heat to low and stir in the rice powder, sugar, and season with salt, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
  • Raise the heat to high and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat.
  • Serve hot.

Notes

INGREDIENT TIP: Don’t use the big, round orange pumpkins we carve into jack-o’-lanterns for this dish, because they are watery, pithy, and not very sweet. You can make this dish with canned pumpkin with perfect results, because canned pumpkin in America is usually a mix of pumpkin and different squashes. When selecting canned pumpkin in the baking aisle, be sure not to grab “pumpkin pie filling,” because it has added pie spices.
You can prepare this dish using an electric cooker if you're short on time.
