Important Notes
For the pumpkin, you can choose regular kabocha, or varieties with a denser texture like Baby pumpkin, Chestnut pumpkin, or Dong Sheng pumpkin. 💡
When steaming the pumpkin for the first time, be sure to preheat the rice cooker to ensure accurate cooking time. ⚠️
The natural pumpkin juice released during the first steam is the essence of this dish and must be used for cooking with the longan and red dates. 💡
It is not recommended to boil goji berries too early as they become mushy easily. Add them during plating and let the residual heat from the final steam soften them to maintain a beautiful appearance. 🍴
When performing the second steam, cover the bowl with a plate leaving a small gap to prevent condensation from dripping into the bowl and diluting the sweetness. ⚠️
