How big is the pumpkin? The glutinous rice brewed in my body is just a small bowl of rice. Make glutinous rice according to the size of the pumpkin you bought. Rock sugar should be put according to your own demand for sweetness; The steaming time is estimated to be 2-30 minutes (you can check the time difference and adjust the time if it is not ripe enough). If you use a pressure cooker, the time is slightly shorter.
