Cooking Instructions
- 1
Mix the shiratamko and silken tofu together. To make tricolour dango, divide the dough into 3 equal portions.
- 2
Add the matcha to one portion and mix well to make a green dough. To make a pink dough, add the food colouring to another portion. Add the food colouring sparingly and see how it goes. Otherwise the food colouring may give too strong a colour to the dough.
- 3
Make small balls with the dough and arrange them onto a dish. Put the balls into the boiling water. Once they start to float up to the surface take them out and put them in a bowl of cold water.
- 4
Skewer 3 balls of dango with a toothpick and transfer to a serving dish. It's done!
- 5
To make a rabbit face, first make a ball with plain dough. Put two small pink cheeks on the ball. Make 2 oblongs with plain dough to make ears. Cook them in boiling water.
- 6
After cooking put 2 black sesame seeds on the face to make eyes. Use a piece of dried pasta to stick the ears to the face. For the ear decoration, I used puffed rice pellets (called "bubu arare" in Japan).

Tri-Colored Potato Dango (For Flower Viewing ) Tri-Colored Potato Dango (For Flower Viewing )
I wanted to make a perfect snack for flower viewing, and so I came up with this recipe for healthy and fun snacks made using potato and okara. I wanted for this to go well with sake, so I used mentaiko and dashida. Even the kids loved it.You can also use consomme or dashi stock granules in place of the dashida to make these. Add 40-50 g mentaiko per 100 g potato to taste. If microwaving, leave spaces between the dango on the plate to prevent them from sticking together. They will become soft and chewy from microwaving.

Easy and Lovely Chewy Tender Heart-Shaped Dango (Dumplings) Easy and Lovely Chewy Tender Heart-Shaped Dango (Dumplings)
I made a prettier version of a recipe I uploaded previously,If you use 50 g of shiratamako (glutinous rice flour with a little katakuriko potato starch flour added) and 10 g of joshinko (regular rice flour) instead of 60 g of shiratamako, the dough will be chewier. If you prefer a tender texture, make the dough with shiratamako only.I recommend using silken tofu. The basic ratio of rice flour to tofu is 1:1, but adjust the amounts so that the dough will have the texture and feel of your earlobe. Recipe by AyakoOOOOO
