Instructions

Make the dough:

  1. In a bowl, combine mochiko flour, sugar and water.
  2. Give everything a mix and form into a dough.

Color the dough:

  1. Divide the dough into 3 equal portions.
  2. To one portion of dough, knead in matcha powder until fully incorporated.
  3. To the second portion of dough, knead in dragonfruit/pitaya powder until fully incorporated.
  4. Leave the last portion of dough plain/white.
  5. Divide each dough into 4 equal pieces and roll in between your palms to form round spheres.
  6. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Cook the dango:

  1. Bring a pot of water up to a boil.
  2. Add in the glutinous rice balls and cook for about 4 minutes, until they float.
  3. Remove the cooked dango and submerge into a basin filled with ice water to stop the cooking.
  4. Strain the dango.

Assemble:

  1. Thread a green, white, and pink dango onto a bamboo skewer and repeat with the remainder. Serve.

Notes

  • MDepending on the humidity, you may need to adjust the amount of water for the mochi dough. It should resemble a playdough consistency, and not be too wet or too dry.
