Instructions

1
Homemade fermentation.
2
Take an appropriate amount and ferment it with warm water until it blooms.

Add an appropriate amount of flour, mix evenly, and let it rest and ferment overnight.
4
The yeast dough has risen particularly well.
5
Peel the pumpkin, wash it clean, cut it into slices, and steam until cooked.
6
Add half a spoon of sugar, mash the pumpkin into a puree, and let it cool.
7
Add a small bowl of flour, put in the cooled pumpkin puree, and add a little baking soda, mixing it into a flaky consistency.
8
Knead into a smooth dough and let it rise until it doubles in size.
9
Well-proofed dough is full of honeycomb-like holes.
10
Wash the red dates, remove the pits, and cut them into small dice.
11
Knead the noodles open and put the diced red dates inside, knead to release the air, and knead several more times.
12
Roll the kneaded dough into a long strip, then pull it by hand into evenly sized pieces.
13
Fold by hand, with the opening facing up.
14
A single embryo is ready.

Let the prepared raw dough undergo a second proofing.
16
Boil water in a pot, and after the water boils, put in the prepared dough pieces and steam on high heat for 20 minutes, then let sit for 5 minutes.
17
When it starts boiling, the slowly emerging aroma of jujube fills the air, and each one is fluffy and soft, fragrant and sweet.
