Dumplings with Shiratama Glutinous Rice Flour & Tofu for the Moon Gazing Festival

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

Yummy Chilled or Warm ✿ Tofu and Soy Milk Shiratama Dumplings Yummy Chilled or Warm ✿ Tofu and Soy Milk Shiratama Dumplings
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 cookpad.japan -

Macrobiotic Baked Rice Bran & Natto Dumplings Macrobiotic Baked Rice Bran & Natto Dumplings
I was very doubtful when I made these the first time, but I was amazed at how easy they were to eat. I made them as a snack for myself, but my kids and even my husband, who doesn't like rice bran, eats them. The natto and the rice bran cancel out each other's strong odor, and the dumplings are tasty.You can eat these with your hands, but you can bake them in aluminium cups to make them easier to eat. Adjust the amount of curry powder to taste. You can omit the chikuwa and cheese if you like. But I recommend including them the first time you make these. Feel free to vary the ingredients.

The authentic version is apparently wrapped with lard.Use koshi-an or tsubu-an.It's difficult to wrap at Step 2, so do not put too much bean paste, or spread too thinly.If the dough does not stick to your hands, then you don't need to coat your hands with katakuriko.

Handmade Kiritanpo and Damako Traditional Rice Dumplings from Akita Prefecture Handmade Kiritanpo and Damako Traditional Rice Dumplings from Akita Prefecture
Our family finance minister, my mother-in-law, was away on a trip. My father-in-law wanted kiritanpo, so I rose to the challenge and made them myself.Salt water is used to make the rice more glutinous.When cooking these in a frying pan, make sure to have space between the dumplings so that they don't stick to each other.Damako (the round dumplings) are easier to make, but kiritanpo (the long thin dumplings) absorb more flavor and are tastier. (According to my dear husband.) For 3 to 4 servings. Recipe by Momopanda cookpad.japan -
Make Mitarashi Dango Dumplings with Mashed Leftover Rice Make Mitarashi Dango Dumplings with Mashed Leftover Rice
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.
