½ teaspoon vegetable oil
1 pineapple ring
1 tablespoon toasted pumpkin seeds, finely chopped

Directions

Rinse and soak rice in a bowl of water for 50 minutes. Drain well and transfer rice to a rice cooker; add 2 cups water.
Cook rice according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Transfer cooked rice to a large bowl and cool for 2 minutes. Stir in sugar and butter.

Lightly oil a shallow bowl with vegetable oil. Place pineapple ring in the bottom and fill with pumpkin seeds and peanuts. Arrange dates and mandarin oranges around the pineapple ring, creating a sunshine pattern. Spoon 1/2 of the rice into the bowl and flatten. Spread red bean paste mixture evenly on top.
