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

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Knead the shiratamako and tofu in a bowl. Since the moisture content depends on the type of tofu used, add a small amount at a time.
- 2
Mix the flour and tofu well by hand. If the dough is not holding together, add more tofu.
- 3
Knead until well formed. Then roll into small balls.
- 4
150 g of flour should yield about 24 dango that are 2 cm in diameter.
- 5
Boil water in a pot and cook the dango.
- 6
Shortly after they begin to float, take them out of the water.
- 7
Cool in an ice bath. Do not keep them in cold water for a long time.
- 8
For the mitarashi sauce, put all ingredients A to D into a pot and simmer. Add katakuriko dissolved in water to thicken the sauce at the end.

I made this pictured version by mixing steamed kabocha pumpkin with the shiratamako. They have such a nice color and would look great served with the white tofu shiratama dango.

Smooth and Delicious Chewy Dango 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 -
Soft and Chewy Dango With Only Tofu and Flour Soft and Chewy Dango With Only Tofu and Flour
My mother used to make this for me. I've always wanted to post this recipe here. Today, this recipe has become a "mother's recipe" for me to teach my daughters.You could also make this with "Dango Flour." In that case, because it's not 100% glutinous rice, reduce the amount of tofu to 200 to 220 g. It's tasty either way. Recipe by Nyakun -
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) -

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 made a prettier version of a recipe I uploaded previously,If you use 50 g of shiratamako (glutinous rice flour with a little katakuriko potato starch flour added) and 10 g of joshinko (regular rice flour) instead of 60 g of shiratamako, the dough will be chewier. If you prefer a tender texture, make the dough with shiratamako only.I recommend using silken tofu. The basic ratio of rice flour to tofu is 1:1, but adjust the amounts so that the dough will have the texture and feel of your earlobe. Recipe by AyakoOOOOO -
