I decided to try making these dumplings since it's cherry blossom season.

Make these dumplings as you like.
-Once you have steamed the dumplings and they start to feel like mochi, stretch the dough out into a log and rinse with cold water to give them a firm and chewy bite.
-Once you've skewered the dumplings on sticks, it might also be good to give them a quick grilling. Recipe by cherry

Ingredients

10 servings
  1. Mitarashi Dango Sauce
  2. 30 grams* Sugar
  3. 2 tbsp* Soy sauce
  4. 1 tbsp* Katakuriko (potato starch flour)
  5. 60 ml* Water
  6. Skewerered mochi dumplings
  7. 1* Tsubu-an (as needed)
  8. Dumplings
  9. 60 grams* Shiratamako
  10. 240 grams* Joshinko
  11. 240 grams* Lukewarm water

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Put both the flours for the dumplings into a bowl and mix with a wooden spatula while pouring in the warm water.

  2. 2

    Once the water is added, mix the dough with your hand and gather it all together into a ball.

  3. 3

    If you keep kneading the crumbly dough, it will eventually form a ball like this.

  4. 4

    Place handfuls of the dough from Step 3 into a steamer so that they don't overlap and steam for 20-25 minutes.

  5. 5

    While the dough from Step 4 is still hot, add it to a mortar and pound it with a rolling pin or something similar until it becomes sticky like mochi. Once cooled, roll into balls and stick on skewers.

  6. 6

    Put the ingredients for the mitarashi sauce into a saucepan and cook over a low heat. Simmer and continue to stir the sauce until it starts to thicken.

  7. 7

    Give the dumplings a go on the grill if you feel like it then cover in the sauce or anko to finish.
