Shiratama Dango 白玉団子
Description
Shiratama Dango uses glutinous rice flour combined with silken tofu to create a smooth, elastic dough that yields soft and chewy dumplings characteristic of Japanese sweets. Coloring one half of the dough with rose tint gives a gentle pink contrast when served alongside white dumplings.
The dough is rolled into cylinders, cut, and shaped into small rounds that are boiled until they float, indicating doneness. Cooling them in cold water sets their texture and prevents sticking. Serving the dango with condensed milk adds a sweet creaminess, and garnishing with goji berries adds a mild tartness and visual appeal.
This dessert highlights traditional Japanese confection techniques and ingredients, offering a delicate balance of textures and sweetness. It’s typically served chilled or at room temperature as a refreshing treat.
Ingredients
- 200 g glutinous rice flour you can get this from the shop sold as Shiratamako
- 200 g silken tofu
- 1 drop rose colouring
- 1 cup condensed milk
- 1/2 tbsp Goji berries to garnish
Instructions
- Place the rice flour and tofu in a large mixing bowl.
- Mix them together and knead until the flour and tofu has mixed well and formed a soft dough.
- Divide the dough into two and drop one rose/pink food colouring on one and knead into the half dough to make it a pink colour.
- Roll out each dough into a long cylinder shape and cut them to 24 pieces each of white and pink dough.
- Shape them into 48 round dango.
- Boil water in a large pot and add the white dango. When they float to the surface of the boiling water, it is cooked.
- Scoop out the flouting dango and put them into an another bowl filled with cold water.
- Repeat the same for the pink dough.
- Drain the water and serve 8 dango each.
- Pour condensed milk over the top and garnish with goji berries.
Notes
- Shiratamako and glutinous rice flour are both sticky rice products; either can be used though the process differs slightly.
- Use silken tofu for best dough consistency and softness in the dumplings.
