I also added some raisins into the dough to makes it looks not so plain to eat. I think it will be very presentable to giving as prayer food and a replacement for normal fatt goh. As it is more tasty to eat and the orangey colour looks like a very "ong" colour! (in chinese means very prosperous colour)
The texture of this fatt goh is like a softer "mi gu", steam bun and is about 3 inches height. My family loves the taste of the pumpkin, it is like a big steam bun (mi gu). It was a fun experiment and is a easiest way to make fatt goh!
ingredients: (make 1 x 9" round cake)
220g pumpkin
60g fine sugar
230g all purpose flour
1 tsp instant yeast
some raisins
- cut pumpkin into small pieces, steam until soft about 15 minutes (easiest method, I put it on my rice cooker to steam the pumpkin while cooking rice. Take out only when rice is cooked)
- drain the steamed pumpkin, discard away the water
- in a mixing bowl, add in all purpose flour, sugar & yeast, mix well
- add in cooled pumpkin & raisins, use a spatula to mix well, the dough will be very sticky
- covered the dough, let rest for 20 minutes
- use a rice cooker steamer tray (tray with holes), cut a parchment paper to the size of the tray, grease the sides with oil or butter, set aside
- turn out the dough onto a dusted working surface, dust the top of the dough as well, knead the dough to become not sticky on the outside, just few knead will do. Purpose is to have a smooth surface dough but inside of the dough is still very wet & sticky
- put the dough into the steamer tray, dust your hand with some flour & flatten the dough with your palm
- rest & let fermented for 1 hour or double in size
- direct steam from cool water for 25 minutes in high heat
- uncover the steamer lid for another 2 minutes after 25 minutes to prevent shrinking
- turn out the fatt goh / cake from steamer tray & let cool on wired cooling rack
