These dango dumplings are for the Moon Gazing Festival.I made them with tofu to make them soft and chewy.The tofu's moisture varies so adjust accordingly.If you make a lot of dumplings, you can store it in the freezer. Pat dry and wrap in cling film to freeze.The best way to defrost them is to put the frozen dumplings in a heat-resistant container with water, and microwave for 1~2 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water. They're as nice as freshly made ones. For 2 servings. Recipe by Ka madam

I obtained tofu for the first time in a while (I live in Africa) so I made a healthy Japanese sweets. The tofu and roasted soy powder provide double the isoflavone effect! They won't get hard, even in the fridge, so make a lot and you can enjoy them for 2 to 3 days. And for my 1-year old and 3-month old daughters, these are highly nutritious.I think silken tofu would be better for this recipe, but I can only get firm tofu here (which has more nutrition, anyways) so I use that. When you are boiling the dumplings, make sure to boil for another minute after they rise to the surface! Recipe by Smuchi

Here's the third recipe in my panda series. This one's perfect for hot summers.Don't add all of the water at once during Step 7. Add a little bit at a time while keeping your eye on the consistency. Knead the dough thoroughly at this stage, and you'll have really soft and chewy shiratama dumplings. Recipe by Pichan plus

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.

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.

I love traditional Japanese sweets but I don't like that anko is always so sweet.I wanted to make not-so-sweet daifuku dumplings, so I referred to recipes in magazines, and adapted them to use ingredients I had on hand.The mochi dough will be very hot, so be careful with it. It won't harden when it cools, but it will be harder to wrap around the bean paste, so I think it's better to work quickly with it.It's much easier to wrap the dumplings if you don't put in too much bean paste!Put as many black beans as you like, but I used about 8 per dumpling.I recommend using small beans.If the dough sticks, be brave and use a ton of katakuriko. For 9 small dumplings. Recipe by yuhpon

I read Yasushi Inoue's historical novel. "The Samurai Banner of Furin Kazan", and was really drawn to the character of warlord Shingen Takeda's concubine Yuu-hime (Princess Yuu), and was inspired to make these dumplings in her image.I used canned sweet white bean paste, which I always have in stock.If the bean paste is too soft to work with, microwave it for a few seconds to evaporate the moisture. Cool down completely before working. Work quickly when you're doing steps 9 and 10. The gyuuhi dough is soft, but it's very stretchy and easy to work with, so spread it out patiently and carefully. Even if it stretches out to a funny shape, you can adjust it when you cut off the edges in step 11. As long as you have pieces that are big enough to wrap around the strawberries, it's fine. Alternatively, you can just divide the dough into 6 portions and make round daifuku dumplings instead.You can wrap the dumplings with plastic wrap and chill them in the refrigerator before eating - they're delicious that way too. For 6 princess dumplings. Recipe by Jun13

These are snow ball cookies (Mexican wedding cakes), but it imitates Hanami Dango. Hanami dango are eaten during Hanami (Cherry blossom viewing) and also they're usually 3 colors, so I made snowball cookies in 3 colors just like Hanami Dango!

I came up with this tofu shiratamako-based dumpling that's soft and delicious even the following day. Both my daughter and I love kinako!For those who prefer soft dumplings, try with 100 g of tofu. This recipe gives them the firmness of skewered dumplings (like the tri-color dumplings).Be careful not to burn yourself when dropping them into boiling water.They also taste great hot.Top them with anko (sweetened red bean paste), ice cream, or whipped cream. Recipe by Minori105.

I love it. It's chewy, sweet, and salty. I didn't use bamboo sticks, and I made them fairly big. Yep. :keyboard

I wanted to eat Japanese sweets that wasn't too sweet, and came up with this recipe!When boiling the dango, drop in boiling water, and once they float to the surface, they are done.Adding mirin makes the sauce lustrous and gives a delicious shine. If you simmer the sauce for too long during Step 3, it will become salty from the soy sauce, so be careful (But simmer until it's thickened.) Recipe by Mari-
