Yomogi Shiratama Yomogi Dango For Beginners
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
Enjoying the yomogi which I picked when I went for a walk with a standard taste.
You can enjoy it from just a little amount.
The amount would change with the amount of yomogi and the amount of water squeezed out. But this time, 1 tablespoon of ground yomogi + 3 tablespoons of flour + 20m water, I was able to make 8 mini shiratama.
I didn't want to wash dishes so I kneaded it in the mortar. But you can also mix in another bowl too. But sticking the yomogi to the dough would be the same. Recipe by one_k

- 1
For the yomogi, pick the young sprouts which the back of the leaf is white and soft. It is a bit of work to chop, so I take off the soft stem too.
- 2
Boil the yomogi. The young sprouts which you can get until May is less bitter, so add a pinch of salt and boil for 1 minute. For the ones which is not a young sprout, add baking soda but add just a little bit.
- 3
Soak in water to fix the color. Then squeeze and mince. You wouldn't be able to cut the small fibers so it will feel like you have a paper spread underneath.
- 4
Grind using a mortar. If you do Step 3 carefully, this process will be done in no time. There would be some fibers left but never mind about the small ones.
- 5
Cut corners here. Add flour in the mortar. Add water little at a time and adjust.
- 6
Knead all the yomogi even from the ditch and let it become as soft as earlobes at the end. Then you will have a green paper clay ready.
- 7
Round it and make a little dent.
- 8
Drop into boiling water. When it comes floating up to the surface, boil for 1 minute and then take them out. It will be even better if you adjust the fire level to be like boiling (medium heat) and floating (low heat)!
- 9
Put in cold water. It is difficult to see in this picture, but the color will be more green than at Step 6 and 7.
- 10
Enjoy with the flavor you like, such as roasted soy beans flour (Kinako) It would be more fancy it you top it with ice cream. It is also possible to freeze. Defrost by boiling.

Kabocha Mitarashi Dango
I served these for the Tanabata festival (Star festival).I made the sauce less sweet since I prefer it that way, but make it as sweet as you like.

Ikinari Dango
This is a healthy macrobiotic version of a specialty from Kumamoto Prefecture.The vegetable oil is used to prevent the mochi from hardening. In conventional recipes for these dango, sugar is used to prevent them from becoming stale. For those concerned about calorie intake, please omit the sugar. I use 30 g of dough per dango for large sweet potatoes, and 20 g for small sweet potatoes. Recipe by Ruruko

Soft and Chewy Dango For Moon Viewing or Mitarashi Dango
I wanted to make moon viewing dango that would stay soft and chewy even if they weren't eaten right away, and came up with this.If you use 60 g of shiratamako + 10 g of joshinko, the dango will have a chewier texture. If you prefer a softer and fluffier texture then I recommend making them with just shiratamako. It's best to use silken tofu. The ratio of flour and tofu is basically 1:1, but make sure to adjust the amount of tofu until the dough is as soft as your earlobes. Recipe by AyakoOOOOO

I didn't make the sauce because I didn't have the ingredients. I hope you can give this recipd a try.

Smooth and Delicious Chewy Dango
Before when I made Mitarashi rice dumplings with just dangoko, something was missing. I wondered how it would turn out by adding shiratamako.For those of you that want this to be super chewy, add more shiratamako. When browning them in a frying pan, they stick to the pan easily, but by adding in rice dumpling flour, they won't stick as much. Recipe by Popotankobu

Sake Lees Mitarashi Dango
I love mochi rice cakes. Again, I'm doing something unorthodox, but I experimented with putting sake lees in the sauce for mitarashi dango. Since the sauce is both sweet and savory, it also goes well with other dishes besides mochi, and is an easy way to enjoy sake lees.In Step 10, if there are still lumps in the sake lees, strain through a tea strainer. Adjust the amount of sake lees and sugar to your liking. If left for too long, the sauce will harden, so use it up as soon as possible! Recipe by miyuki12
