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

Steps

1

Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix together with your hands.
2

When the dough is about the softness of your earlobe and easy to roll into a ball, it's ready. Fill a pot with water and turn on the heat.
3

When the water starts boiling, roll the dough from Step 2 into balls and drop into the pot. When they float to the top, cook for another 2 minutes.
4

Strain, let cool, and they're done.
5

You can eat them simply like this, or serve them however you like.
