Ingredients:

Cooking Instructions:
-
Prepare the Pumpkin Dough:
- Steam the pumpkin until soft. Mash it thoroughly in a mixing bowl.

-
Shape the Rice Balls:
- Take a small portion of the dough and roll it into a ball approximately 1.5 inches in diameter.
- Repeat the process with the remaining dough to create multiple rice balls.
-
Coat with Sesame Seeds:
- Lightly dip the rice balls in water, then roll them in a bowl of toasted sesame seeds until evenly coated.
-
Bake:
- Preheat the oven to 175°C (347°F).
- Arrange the sesame-coated rice balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until the balls are golden and aromatic.
-
Serve:
- Let the rice balls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm for a soft, gooey texture or at room temperature for a firmer bite.
