Pumpkin Dango Dumplings

Today I had some leftover cooked Pumpkin. I wanted to use it up to make something Japanese. So, I mixed it with Shiratamako (Japanese Glutinous Rice Flour) and a little bit of Water, and made it into Dango Dumplings. They look pretty, don’t they?
Pumpkin Dango Dumplings
Today I had some leftover cooked Pumpkin. I wanted to use it up to make something Japanese. So, I mixed it with Shiratamako (Japanese Glutinous Rice Flour) and a little bit of Water, and made it into Dango Dumplings. They look pretty, don’t they?
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Place ‘Shiratamako’ in a mixing bowl. Add pureed Pumpkin and Salt, then gradually add warm Water, NOT all at once, and knead to achieve the firmness of the dough same as firmness of your earlobe. (*This is traditionally taught.) *Note: You don’t need to add all water. The dough should be dry to the touch.
- 2
Make about 2cm balls. Today I made 20 balls.
- 3
Cook them in plenty of rapidly boiling water. When the Dango Dumplings are floating, cook a few more minutes, then drain and place them in icy cold water to cool.
- 4
Enjoy with your favourite sauce such as Mitarashi Sauce, Condensed Milk, Sweetened Cream, OR etc.
- 5
*Mitarashi Sauce: Combine all the ingredients in a small heat-proof bowl, heat in the microwave and bring to the boil, and mix well. You can cook it in a small saucepan until the sauce thickens.
I started writing my recipes to pass them on to my children. Now I am sharing them with everyone on my website www.hirokoliston.com

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 -
Mitarashi (Sweet Soy Sauce) Syrup for Dango Dumplings Mitarashi (Sweet Soy Sauce) Syrup for Dango Dumplings
I made this for the birthday party of a friend who loves sweets.I wanted to make the very best for my friend. This recipe is the result of a few hours of carefully adjusting and making notes about the flavoring ingredients!Be sure to add the katakuriko dissolved in water a little at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.The leftover syrup is good for potato mochi too!If you use only shiratamako, these will stick to the pan when you brown them, but if you add dumpling flour as well, they won't stick.

Make Mitarashi Dango Dumplings with Mashed Leftover Rice Make Mitarashi Dango Dumplings with Mashed Leftover Rice
I saw a comedian making dango on TV and got some hints from that and made this recipe.I thought that maybe my 2-year-old and 10-month-old year old daughter could help me making this while having fun so I put the rice in a plastic bag. This made it much easier to make the dango than grinding the rice in a mortar. By putting the rice in a plastic bag, I was able to play with my child while making the dango. My daughter helped me a little bit too.Mash the rice until they lose shape. You can also enjoy this dango coated in kinako powder or with azuki bean paste instead of mitarashi sauce.

These dumplings are really easy and simple, and taste delicious cold. They contain lots of sweet potato, so they're a snack ideal for curing constipation. They are filling too, so perfect for breakfast!!The key to a glutinous, chewy texture is the golden ratio of 4 parts sugar: 4 parts white flour: 1 part shiratama-ko (rice flour). Adjust the amounts depending on how much potato you have.If you soak the cut up sweet pototoes for a long time, they will cook up to a pretty golden color.These dumplings are also delicious made with red sweet potatoes or kabocha squash. For 7 to 9 dumplings. Recipe by Nekomarumama -

Handmade Kiritanpo and Damako Traditional Rice Dumplings from Akita Prefecture Handmade Kiritanpo and Damako Traditional Rice Dumplings from Akita Prefecture
Our family finance minister, my mother-in-law, was away on a trip. My father-in-law wanted kiritanpo, so I rose to the challenge and made them myself.Salt water is used to make the rice more glutinous.When cooking these in a frying pan, make sure to have space between the dumplings so that they don't stick to each other.Damako (the round dumplings) are easier to make, but kiritanpo (the long thin dumplings) absorb more flavor and are tastier. (According to my dear husband.) For 3 to 4 servings. Recipe by Momopanda
