This looks daunting! But I tried and it worked out so well, I served it during Chinese New Year dinner. The family loved it! I followed the sugar quantity and it turned out not too sweet. Thank you RHS.

In reply to Catherine. Thanks for your comment! I’m a bit puzzled by the dough being both sticky and crumbly at the same time. Adding more glutinous rice flour will definitely make it drier and more crumbly, so that might be the issue. I don’t think the brand of flour is the cause of the problem. Have you had a chance to watch the tutorial video? It might help you get a better sense of the dough’s ideal consistency. Let me know if that helps!

My dough is coming out both sticky and crumbly. Adding more flour makes it more crumbly and unworkable. I am using Bob’s Red Mill sweet rice flour. Should I be using a different glutinous rice flour, or am I missing something?

In reply to Lydia. I found the finished color to be very similar. But the color of shop-bought pumplkin puree might vary from brand to brand.

In reply to Kalia. Hi Wei, does using canned pumpkin puree affect the color of the finished product or will it still be lighter than using butternut squash?

In reply to Kalia. Sorry to hear your frustration, Kalia. I will report this to the ad management team and have it fixed. I also have a YouTube version of the video that might work better for you. Happy cooking!

This isn’t related to the recipe, but rather to the constant, intrusive and unstoppable voice-over ads from Stonyfield Organics. They even run over the top of your videos. There doesn’t seem to be any way to mute them without losing your video sound. During the course of reading through your recipe I had to listen to various versions of the ad 5 times, and then it kept playing over the top of your video.
I love your site, and have been a regular here for years, but these ads make me want to run away.

In reply to Sue. You can add a little water to make the dough more manageable. Or, if it cracks, simply use a wet finger to rub the crack to seal. Hope this helps!

Hi Wei, I just made this and it looks and tastes really good. Thank you for the recipe, your creativity is very inspiring! Just a question though, my dough was soft and not sticky but it had cracks after wrapping the filling which fortunately disappeared after steaming. But does that mean it needs more water? I tried adding oil but that didn’t help much.
