These dango dumplings are for the Moon Gazing Festival.
I made them with tofu to make them soft and chewy.

The tofu's moisture varies so adjust accordingly.
If you make a lot of dumplings, you can store it in the freezer. Pat dry and wrap in cling film to freeze.
The best way to defrost them is to put the frozen dumplings in a heat-resistant container with water, and microwave for 1~2 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water. They're as nice as freshly made ones. For 2 servings. Recipe by Ka madam

Divide into 25 portions and roll into balls. Cook in boiling water.

When they float to the surface, cook for another 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl of cold water.

2010: I made the dango with my 1-year-old son. It was the first time for him to make dango. The top one is a pumpkin dango.

2012: I made them again this year. A typhoon was approaching Japan, so we couldn't have the real moon gazing festival, but we enjoyed the dango to celebrate anyway.

We had a beautiful full moon in 2013! My 4-year-old son is getting better and better at making these.
