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
