Halloween Pumpkins- Jouyo Manjyu (Wagashi)
This is a traditional Japanese sweet which is a bean paste ball rapped with dough of grated Yamaimo & Jouyo-ko (rice flour). I made small pumpkins with this ingredient. Real pumpkin is mixed in the filling.

Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Ingredients for 10 pieces. *Grated Yam 40g = 10g Yam powder + 30ml Water
* Step 2
Cook 50g of Pumpkin in a microwave oven. Mix the cooked pumpkin and 100g of red bean jam. Divide it into 10 and make them round. Wrap them with a paper towel to take their water.

Put the Yamaimo mixture into the "Jouyo-ko". Mix them. (Put the "Jouyo-ko" onto the yamaimo mixture and fold it.) When the dough becomes like "squeezing an earlobe", divide the dough into 10, as using dusting flour.

Wrap a bean jam ball with the dough as using dusting flour.
* Step 6
Make notches on the top of a dough (putting 2 crosses). Make 8 ditches form the bottom to the top with a round chopstick.

Make a round dent in the center. Put a square chip of pumpkin peel. Put them in a steamer. Spray water over them. Steam them for 8 minutes.

Cool them down with a cotton clothes cover not to get dry.
