In reply to JT. Yes! There is actually a steamed version as well. I only posted the fried because I prefer it this way. I would skip the breadcrumbs if you plan to steam them. They will come out smooth and sticky, quite nice :)

Alternative Cooking Method – can these be steamed instead of fried?

In reply to Dorien. I don't think rice flour will work because the dough might not come together, and the texture of the end result will be completely different (not sticky at all).

Hi, I can’t find glutinous rice flour where I live, but I found rice flour, do you think it may work adequately or it would be a total mess and not worth trying? Thank-you so much

This was a huge hit and incredibly easy to make. I used red kuri squash and steamed as directed, but next time I will peel before steaming instead of after. I accidentally peeled some of it beforehand, and I couldn’t notice any difference in the result, but it was easier to peel raw rather than steamed.

This recipe was so good! I love the crisp and biting into pumpkin flavor. My family is debating on what to classify these as, definitely dessert but they don’t agree with them being called cakes. Donuts is slightly close with the fried dough. My brother said they are patties. Nothing quite fits for putting western classifications on it, they just are unique!

In reply to Natasha. So happy to hear you like the recipe! I think you can freeze the dough, but it might be better to assemble the pumpkins cakes and freeze the uncooked cakes. I have not tried freezing the dough and not sure if it's still easy to work with once frozen.

I love this recipe! Already made it 4 times! Maggie, can you freeze the pumpkin dough? Will thawing change its texture and affect anything significantly?
Thank you!!
