Matcha Dango with 'Tsubu-an’
My favourite type of Dango is ‘Kusa Dango’ and they are very green because the dough is made from Rice flour and young leaves of ‘Yomogi’ plant.
‘Yomogi’ used to be growing absolutely everywhere in Japan and my mother and I used to have a walk to collect ‘Yomogi’ leaves to make ‘Kusa Dango’. It’s impossible to find it in Australia, I use Matcha powder to make these green dumplings.

The dough should be a bit dry to the touch and firm enough to roll into balls. *Note: Stop adding water when the desired firmness is achieved. You don’t need to add all water.

Made these the same time as I was making the hanami dango, but this one used different recipe. Usually mitarashi dango is just plain white balls but I wanted to make it different, I like kawaii things so I made these pandas inspired by a Youtube video I saw earlier. I didn't make the sauce because I didn't have the ingredients. I hope you can give this recipd a try.

So Fluffy ~ Chewy White Shiratamako Dango So Fluffy ~ Chewy White Shiratamako Dango
I used to make shiratama dango with vegetable purees for my kids' snacks. I decided to use tofu when I wanted to make a white version of them. I make this dish often because the color comes out nicely and I also learned that it does not harden very easily.If you have leftover shiratama dango, freeze them to save for nabe (hot pot dishes) or miso soups. They're fluffy and delicious. Recipe by Catherine@fukuoka -
Make Kawagoe's Specialty "Imokoi" [Ikinari-Dango] Even Outside Japan Make Kawagoe's Specialty "Imokoi" [Ikinari-Dango] Even Outside Japan
I wanted to see if I could make these Imokoi, even though I live outside Japan. Recently, at the supermarket, I can find sweet potatoes that are similar to the ones sold in Japan.Feel free to change the thickness of the sweet potato slices, peel, or increase the amount of glutenous rice flour in relation to the plain wheat flour. Take care when handling the hot water. A dry dough can be tricky to wrap around the sweet potato, but it's easier to handle, since it doesn't stick to your hands. Conversely, a softer, moist dough is easy to wrap, but it sticks. The recipe makes a slightly dry dough. Recipe by catwoman -
