Pumpkin Filling

Mochi Balls

Instructions

  • In a medium pan over low heat, add pumpkin puree, corn starch slurry, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice and heat until thickened paste. Remove from heat and cool.
  • In large mixing bowl, combine glutinous rice flour and sugar. Slowly pour in water and mix until dough is formed. Add a tablespoon of extra water, one at a time, as needed if dough is dry. Knead for a few mins until smooth.
  • Divide the dough into 8 even portions and roll each portion into round ball. Flatten the dough ball until ¼ inch thin and add pumpkin paste in the middle then seal the edges and roll the dough into a ball. Quickly dip ball in water then roll in sesame seeds to coat all over.
  • Preheat air fryer to 200F. Add sesame balls but do not overcrowd and cook in batches if needed. Cook for 12-14 mins and flip halfway. Turn up air fryer to 350F and cook for another 3-5 mins until golden brown. Serve warm and eat immediately.
