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. Recipe by Seireiyukimaru

- 1
Put left over rice in a plastic bag. Mash the rice. Using heavy-duty plastic bag will make it easier to remove the rice later.
- 2
When the rice is mashed, add katakuriko and then rub in until the rice loses its shape.
- 3
When the ingredients are mixed evenly and the rice pulverized, remove and shape into a rod.
- 4
Tear the rod into pieces.
- 5
Wet your hands and shape the pieces round. Stick a skewer through the pieces. It's easier to round the pieces if you squeeze each piece 4 to 5 times before rolling them between your palms.
- 6
Cook in a steamer for 3 minutes. I used my microwave's steam mode on high for 5 minutes.
- 7
Make the mitarashi sauce. Mix all ● ingredients and heat on low until it thickens.
- 8
Coat the freshly steamed dango in sauce and they're ready to serve.
- 9
The recipe name won't be true anymore, but you can use a food processor to mash the rice.
- 10
Use your wet hands to knead the mixture after using the food processor.

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.

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 -
