When making fried pumpkin jiaozi, you need to pay attention to the method. First of all, you need to prepare pumpkin, sugar, glutinous rice flour, white sesame seeds and cooking oil. First, peel the pumpkin, then clean all the pumpkin meat, cut it into blocks with uniform size, and put all the pumpkins directly into the plate. Then take out the pot and add a proper amount of water to it. Then we put the whole plate of pumpkin directly into the pot and start steaming, which takes about ten minutes. In the steaming process, the pumpkin is steamed until the chopsticks can be completely immersed in the pumpkin. When finished, take it out, then mash the steamed pumpkin with a spoon, and then add a proper amount of sugar to the pumpkin. At this time, the amount of sugar needs to be determined according to your own taste. You can add some honey to the pumpkin puree.
Glutinous rice flour was added into pumpkin puree and stirred at the same time, so that pumpkin puree and glutinous rice flour were completely blended, and then kneaded into dough with golden color and smooth surface. Then we covered the pumpkin dough with plastic wrap and woke up for ten minutes. Then prepare white sesame seeds. Take out pumpkin dough. After we knead the pumpkin dough into a uniform ball, roll it in sesame seeds so that the surface can be covered with enough white sesame seeds. After that, we add cooking oil to the pot. When the oil is almost hot, we need to put in the pumpkin balls prepared before. We need to use a small fire in the whole process. We can fry pumpkin balls for five minutes. In the process of frying pumpkin balls, we need to turn them constantly with chopsticks, so as to avoid the uneven surface and ugly color of the balls. When we fry pumpkin balls until they are golden brown, we can choose to take them out to control the oil and eat them when they are cold.
What powder does pumpkin jiaozi use?
When making pumpkin jiaozi, glutinous rice flour is recommended. First, soak in glutinous rice for one night. Beating is needed after water milling. Then it needs to be packed in a cloth bag and hung overnight. When the water drops dry, we need to break all the wet glutinous rice flour balls and dry them to make glutinous rice flour. This is the best choice to make pumpkin jiaozi.

How to choose pumpkins
When eating pumpkins, we need to learn to choose pumpkins. First of all, we need to pay attention to the selection of pumpkins with complete appearance. If there are damaged pumpkins, pests or spots on the surface, you should avoid choosing such pumpkins. At the same time, we should pay attention to the selection of pumpkins when eating, because different kinds of pumpkins mean completely different selection methods. First of all, golden pumpkin is a better choice. Deep yellow pumpkins with rough stripes, and then ripe pumpkins. If you want to buy a green pumpkin, if you find that the deeper the edge of the pumpkin, the more bulging the petals, then it is an old pumpkin.
When choosing pumpkins, you should smell them. Pumpkin will have a very special flavor when it is ripe, which is the unique flavor of pumpkin, and it is best to choose the pumpkin with stem.
Choose pumpkin and pinch the pumpkin skin. We need to pinch the pumpkin skin with our nails. If it is a ripe pumpkin, the skin is hard and tight. If we find that the skin of the pumpkin is broken when pinched, it means that it is tender and not mature enough. Moreover, if water is found to seep out of the pumpkin, the pumpkin is a mature pumpkin with more water and less water.
