Pumpkin Kueh (Cake)

I'm sure many of you have had the pan fried radish cake as a dim sum dish. This pumpkin kueh is a variation of that, using pumpkin instead of radish. Pumpkin is considered a superfood given that it is high in antioxidants and especially good for women.

Soak about 6 Chinese mushrooms and 3 tablespoons of dried shrimps.
Dice 4 shallots
When the mushrooms are soft, chop off the stem and thinly slice them
Heat some sesame oil in a wok, add the shallots and stir fry. Add mushrooms and dried shrimps and fry till fragrant and set aside
Add about 2 cups rice flour to 1.5 cups water and mix over the stove till the mixture gets sticky. Add in mashed pumpkin and the shallots, mushrooms and dried shrimp
Transfer the entire mixture into a deep dish and steam for 45 minutes.
After steaming, allow it to cool before serving. What I usually do is to slice them up and pan fry them till it gets crisp on the outside
Serve plain or with your face chilli sauce and/or sweet soy sauce.
