Making Instagram-worthy Desserts at Home with Purple Yam and Pumpkin - Simple and Delicious Recipe
Recently, Dadao bought a huge amount of pumpkins and ube online, purely because of foodie support. The impulsive consequence was too much, and if they didn't eat it quickly, it would easily spoil. So Dadao decided to make it into desserts, with some frozen and some eaten directly. Iowan mochi is a famous snack from Fujian and Taiwan, usually eaten as desserts. Ube and pumpkin are also most suitable for making pumpkin mochi and ube mochi.
Ingredients: Ube, pumpkin, tapioca starch
Additives: water, red bean paste
Steps: 1. Wash and peel the ube and pumpkin, then steam them until soft and mash into puree for later use.
2. Mix an appropriate amount of tapioca starch with pumpkin puree and ube puree, then knead into balls. Dadao's pumpkin uses Beibei pumpkin, which has less water content, so you need to add a little water to knead it into a ball.
3. Roll the kneaded pumpkin and ube into long strands, then cut into small pieces for later use.
4. Put boiling water in a small pot, then add the ube mochi and pumpkin mochi.
5. After the ube mochi and pumpkin mochi are cooked, take them out and put them in cold water to cool.
6. Add cooked mochi to milk and red bean paste, stir evenly and it's ready to eat.
Ube has a sweet and soft texture, with low calories and cholesterol content, it's a great health food. Beibei pumpkin has the flavor of chestnuts, it's soft and sweet, with high protein and rich in vitamins A and C. Such ingredients as desserts are super love!
Tips for making Iowan mochi at home:
1. You can choose general pumpkins, so the water content will be higher.
2. When cooking mochi, remember to stir frequently to prevent sticking.
3. After cooking, you must put the mochi in cold water to make it more chewy.
