How to Prepare

1. Prepping the Pumpkin

Wash the pumpkin, cut it in half, remove seeds, peel off the skin, and cut into chunks. Microwave for 3–5 minutes to soften the skin for easier peeling.

2. Cooking and Blending

Boil pumpkin pieces in water until tender. Then, blend until smooth. Adjust water amount depending on how thick you want your porridge.

3. Preparing the Rice Flour

Mix the rice flour with water until there are no lumps. You can also blend soaked glutinous rice if you don’t have flour.

4. Simmer to Finish

Return the blended pumpkin to the pot over medium heat. Slowly pour in the rice flour mixture while stirring. Add sugar, salt, and milk (optional) to enhance the creaminess.
