Moist and Chewy Mitarashi Dango with Tofu
I created this recipe because I wanted to use up a batch of tofu.
You don't need oil when you're browning the dango. You can also use a mochi cake grill to brown the dango balls. If you are not planning to eat them all at once, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. They will still be soft the next day. Recipe by Mayatan

Soft and Chewy Dango For Moon Viewing or Mitarashi Dango 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 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.

Kabocha Mitarashi Dango 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. For the tofu, you can use silken or firm but do not drain. If there isn't enough liquid in the dough, you could add water, but adding more tofu will result in chewier and softer dango.(Recipe by commeline) -
