Dango
Dango is a traditional Japanese dumpling made from rice flour. It is often served as a sweet treat or dessert.
Ingredients - Serves 4
- Anko (sweet red bean paste) - 1/2 cup

- Sugar - 2 tablespoons

Let's Get Started
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mochiko, water, and sugar. Mix well until a smooth dough forms.
- Divide the dough into small portions and shape them into round dumplings.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the dumplings and cook until they float to the surface, about 3-5 minutes.
- Remove the dumplings from the pot and transfer them to a bowl of cold water to cool.
- In a separate bowl, mix the soy sauce and kinako to make a dipping sauce.
- Serve the dango with the dipping sauce and a side of anko for dipping.
