Easy and Lovely Chewy Tender Heart-Shaped Dango (Dumplings)
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

I wanted to eat Japanese sweets that wasn't too sweet, and came up with this recipe!When boiling the dango, drop in boiling water, and once they float to the surface, they are done.Adding mirin makes the sauce lustrous and gives a delicious shine. If you simmer the sauce for too long during Step 3, it will become salty from the soy sauce, so be careful (But simmer until it's thickened.) Recipe by Mari-

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
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

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

Mitarashi Dango For Cherry Blossom Viewing Parties
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.

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

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)
Mizu-Yokan Dango for Girl's Day or Cherry Blossom Viewing
I arranged some famous hanami dango from Akita Prefecture.When melting the yokan to make mizu-yokan in Step 5, it may be difficult to coat the shiratama dango if the mizu-yokan does not contain enough liquid. Adjust the liquid as needed.I used neri-yokan time, but you can also use ogura-yokan or kuri-yokan for variety. Recipe by Karun
Yomogi Shiratama Yomogi Dango For Beginners
Enjoying the yomogi which I picked when I went for a walk with a standard taste.You can enjoy it from just a little amount.The amount would change with the amount of yomogi and the amount of water squeezed out. But this time, 1 tablespoon of ground yomogi + 3 tablespoons of flour + 20m water, I was able to make 8 mini shiratama.I didn't want to wash dishes so I kneaded it in the mortar. But you can also mix in another bowl too. But sticking the yomogi to the dough would be the same. Recipe by one_k
A Taste of Olden Times: Denpun Dango (Starch Sweets)
This is the nostalgic taste of denpun dango. The neighborhood grannies and aunties made these a lot. These were the sweets I had when I was a kid. They are soft and chewy, and lightly sweetened.If you dump all the hot water at once, the denpun will harden, so add a little at a time like you would when mixing katakuriko with water. The dough will feel stiff when you're working in the hot water, but if you can work in this amount of hot water, they should turn out fine. Recipe by Maimama
HANAMI DANGO Cookies

Mitarashi (Sweet Soy Sauce) Syrup for Dango Dumplings
I made this for the birthday party of a friend who loves sweets.I wanted to make the very best for my friend. This recipe is the result of a few hours of carefully adjusting and making notes about the flavoring ingredients!Be sure to add the katakuriko dissolved in water a little at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.The leftover syrup is good for potato mochi too!If you use only shiratamako, these will stick to the pan when you brown them, but if you add dumpling flour as well, they won't stick.
