👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:
Peel and steam the pumpkin, then mash it and let it cool.
Add glutinous rice flour to the cooled pumpkin puree and knead into a smooth dough. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Divide the dough into even portions and roll them into small balls.
Roll each ball in sesame seeds, then press and roll again to ensure the sesame seeds adhere evenly. Repeat this step until all the balls are evenly coated with sesame seeds.

After frying, promptly drain excess oil on paper towels to maintain the taste and appearance.
When rolling the balls in sesame seeds, repeat the process multiple times to ensure the sesame seeds stick securely.
