The amount of the joshinko flour and the boiling water listed is just a guide. The amount will change depending on the season or the flour which are from different companies. Adjust the amount and try to make the dango dough soft as an earlobe. Dango tends to be harder after some time, but it will be soft again as freshly steamed when you reheat in a microwave.
