I bought this pumpkin a couple days ago and was planning to prepare this any of this day. Finally, I get it cut and now its ready to go for steaming. Make sure you use a very sharp & good knife to make the cut on top the pumpkin. The hole shouldn't be not too big nor too small. Then dig out the seeds & all the unnecessary items.

3/4 cup glutinous rice
1/2 cup white rice
